description In this essay will be analyzed the literary world that unfolds in the collection Minilibros of the National Publishing Company Quimantú (1971-1973), during the goverment of the Unidad Popular in Chile, paying attention to its commitment to create new masses of readers through an easy-to-understand world literature . We reffer to a repertoire of works of diverse genres such as adventure, drama and science fiction, which can be understood under the category of pulp literature,, which mostly circulated through low-cost North American publications in the early twentieth century, which they orchestrate together with Russian and Latin American works of marked realistic character. This opens up questions about the motivations of the publishing house, belonging to a socialist and Latin American political project, for offering an opening to the world largely crossed by elements of an American mass culture

Hablamos de un repertorio de obras de estilos diversos como la aventura, drama y ciencia ficción, que puede ser comprendido bajo la categoría de novelas de quiosco, las cuales en su mayoría circularon por publicaciones norteamericanas de bajo costo a comienzos del siglo XX, y que en este caso se orquestan en conjunto con obras rusas y latinoamericanas de marcado carácter realista. Esto abre interrogantes acerca de las motivaciones de la editorial, perteneciente a un proyecto político socialista y latinoamericano, por ofrecer una apertura al mundo en gran medida atravesada por elementos propios de una cultura de masas norteamericana 2020-09-21 2022-03-22T14:26:51Z 2022-03-22T14:26:51Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://meridional.uchile.cl/index.php/MRD/article/view/58632 10.5354/0719-4862.2020.58632 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/78073 spa https://meridional.uchile.cl/index.php/MRD/article/view/58632/62872 https://meridional.uchile.cl/index.php/MRD/article/view/58632/67598 Derechos de autor 2020 Meridional.
