Tempestade nos Andes: o indigenismo revolucionário e o nacionalismo nos escritos da Revista Amauta (1926-1930)

Abstract

This dissertation has as its object of study the Peruvian magazine Amauta, which circulated between 1926 and 1930.

The main objective is the analysis of articles that enable the understanding of the configuration of revolutionary Indigenism in Peru, as well as the national matter. The study of its examples will allow us to recover a critical understanding of Peruvian society in its process of “modernization”, which corresponds to the period of consolidation and crisis of the civilist oligarchy until the government of Augusto B.

Through its pages, we approach an interpretation of the society that engenders it. Although we apprehend the contents contained in their specimens as discursive constructions, it is considered that the analysis of immanence allows us to capture the ontological aspect of the Peruvian social being
