MORAES-MEDINA, Mariana. Chronicle of an effusion: Alfonso Reyes, Luisa Luisi and the Uruguay-Mexico Committee. Rev. hist. Am. [online]. 2019, n.156, pp.217-239.  Epub 28-Fev-2022. ISSN 2663-371X.  https://doi.org/10.35424/rha.156.2019.239.

This article studies the relationship among Alfonso Reyes, Luisa Luisi and the Uruguay-Mexico Committee. It is based on the analysis of Reyes’ diary and the unpublished correspondence he maintained with the Uruguayan writer Luisa Luisi, as well as on encounters, speeches and collaborations published in magazines and newspapers of the time. Reyes´ official arrival in Uruguay, in May of 1928, was part of and also catalyzed a “wave that diffused the values” of post-revolutionary Mexico. Reconstructing the intellectual relationship between Reyes and Luisi, as well as reflecting on the collaboration and conflict dynamics between the two, lends new insights into biographical criticism of the authors and studies on Mexico´s cultural diplomacy in South America.

Palavras-chave : Alfonso Reyes; Luisa Luisi; correspondence; Uruguay-Mexico Committee; cultural diplomacy.
