Los 60

Abstract

Análisis de los rasgos que definieron la década del sesenta uruguaya, años de euforia y crisis caracterizados por un intenso experimentalismo literario en lo formal y un claro compromiso político, que superó los esquemas tradicionales de la literatura uruguaya y terminó abruptamente en 1967, con el comienzo del periodo de violencia en el país. The present article analyses the defining characteristics of the Uruguayan sixties. Those were years of euphoria and crisis characterized by an intense literary experimentalism in formal terms and a clear political engagement that overcame the traditional schemes of Uruguayan literature. In 1967, this process was concluded abruptly by the beginning of the country’s violent period.
