JALIFE JACOBO, Anuar. The city’s current beauty: modern tensions in El pentagrama eléctrico by Salvador Gallardo. Connotas. Rev. crit. teór. lit. [online]. 2021, n.23, pp.209-234.  Epub 16-Dic-2021. ISSN 2448-6019.  https://doi.org/10.36798/critlit.v0i23.381.

The Estridentistas conceived the modern city as a space that provided the images of the present and shaped a new sensibility. This article analyzes the poems of El pentagrama eléctrico (1925) by Salvador Gallardo in order to show the tensions that exist within the modern city, between the mechanical and the affective, between the changing and the permanent, between the outer and inner world. This as a way to revalue the Estridentista poetry 100 years after the appearance of the movement.
