Description
Summary:Repertorio Americano represented a dialogue about different perspectives, between national and international intellectuals. Yolanda Oreamuno was one of the important collaborators of this newspaper. She evaluated Costa Rican passivity against the arts, and also the costumbrismo in literature. This research attempt to study the artistic scene described by Oreamuno in her essays and narrative poetry, among them: “La vuelta a los lugares comunes” (1939), “El último Max Jiménez ante la indiferencia nacional” (1939), “Protesta contra el folclore” (1943) y “Max Jiménez y los que están” (1947). Those documents suggest the transgressor role to the system by this female writer, as well as a critical and dialogic literature.
