| From 1960 to 1990 A new generation break up takes place
in the 1960s. Influences are varied: Sartre, Camus, Eluard; some Spaniards
like Celaya; and native writers such as Borges, Arlt, Cortázar
and Marechal. Two trends stand out: the trace of metaphysical time
and historicity: Horacio Salas, Alejandra Pizarnik
and Ramón Plaza and social and urban convulsions:
Abelardo Castillo, Marta Lynch and Manuel Puig.

The
1970s are dark for intellectual creation. The sign of the times
is exile: Juan Gelman and Antonio Di Benedetto or
death: Roberto Santoro and Haroldo Conti. Some poets:
Agustín Tavitián and Antonio Aliberti,
story tellers: Osvaldo Soriano, Fernando Sorrentino
and essayists: Ricardo Herrera and María Rosa Lojo
stand out among the vicissitudes and renew the field of ethic and
aesthetic ideas. Again, their references are Eluard, Eliot, Montale
and Neruda.

The
present 1990s marks the reunion of the survivors of different
generations, in an intellectual coalescence to review values and
texts, before an enigmatic but hopeful end of century.
