抄録

Ramon Gomez de la Serna (1883-1963), Spanish awant-garde writer, went into exile in Argentina in 1936, not returning to Spain until 1949. Upon his return, intellectuals of General Franco's party invited Ramon to a welcome reception that, in a typical display of his apolitical nature, he attended, and never spoke out against Franco's regime. This action-standard for a man who believed politics corrupted writers-offended many writers, poets, and critics in Spain and Latin America who oppose Franco. They came to think of Ramon as not only apolitical, but as a conformist locked in an "ivory tower", a perception that hurt his reputation despite his diverse contributions to Spanish-and world-literature. During the Spanish Civil War (fought from 1936 to 1939 between Republicans and Franco's Nationalist Forces), Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, and Andre Malraux jointed the International Brigades that were fighting for the Republican Popular Front; Federico Garcia Lorca was murdered by Franco's facists; the philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset, the composer Manuel de Falla, and the poets Antonio Machado and Pedro Salinas fled from their country; and Pablo Picasso painted Guernica to denounce the horrors of war. It was a difficult time to be accepted who did not espouse Republican values or at least sympathize with the Republican cause. I cannot help but think that Ramon was victimized because of his apolitical indifference, thereby stunting his reevaluation. Such a reevaluation of Ramon-in Japan as well as in Spain and Latin America-is overdue. In this paper, I will make a case for Ramon, who, in my opinion, played the most significant role in bridging the divide between the poetic reform movement of Modernismo (championed by poets like Nicaraguan Ruben Dario from 1880s to the mid 1910s) and modern poetry.
