Abstract
OLEA FRANCO, Rafael. A new genre is born: José Emilio Pacheco in the daily newspaper Excélsior. Nueva rev. filol. hisp. [online]. 2021, vol.69, n.1, pp.235-259. Epub Mar 02, 2021. ISSN 2448-6558. https://doi.org/10.24201/nrfh.v69i1.3713.
This article examines some of the contributions made by Mexican writer José Emilio Pacheco (1939-2014) to the newspaper Excélsior, in a weekly column entitled “Inventario” which began on August 5th, 1973. The texts published there are of a heterogeneous nature, mixing both historical and literary chronicle, fiction, and even poetry. Though occasionally interrupted, the column continued through to July 4th, 1976, reappearing later that year in the newly launched magazine Proceso, in which it became established as one of the author’s hallmarks. In this essay the point is made that the defining traits of Pacheco’s “inventories” as a whole are already discernible in this early stage in the Excélsior.
Keywords : José Emilio Pacheco (1939-2014); 20th century Mexican literature; chronicle in Mexico; literary criticism in Mexico; Excélsior newspaper.
