PORRAS, María del Carmen. Entre décadas: la Revista Rocinante (1968-1971). Núcleo [online]. 2006, vol.18, n.23, pp.175-210. ISSN 0798-9784.
In the early sixties, several literary journals were edited in Venezuela as an expression of a group of artists, writers and intellectuals who, encouraged by the recent arrival of democracy in the country, tried to develop a critical and renewed discourse regarding the different aspects of national culture. However, because of overwhelming social tensions, this movement soon enters a crisis and by the end of the decade it can be said to be over. Rocinante comes out in those late 60s. It was a publication whose goals were, in the first place, to question the unjustified withdrawal of progressive intellectuals; and in the second, to renew the debate around the state of Venezuelan culture. In this paper we will consider the strategies that Edmundo Aray, the main promoter of this publication, used to tackle these tasks, confronting not only the weakness mentioned above -the retreat of the intellectual movement- but also the increasing influence of mass media on society.
