The periodical was founded in Buenos Aires in the mid-1970s during a period of heightened literary debate involving institutions such as Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and Universidad de São Paulo. Early issues engaged in polemics connected to the legacies of Modernismo, Vanguardismo, and debates around Magical Realism, responding to critical frameworks advanced by scholars at King's College London, Columbia University, University of Chicago, and Harvard University. The journal navigated censorship and exile linked to regimes exemplified by Argentine dictatorship (1976–1983), Chile under Pinochet, and interactions with asylum networks in Mexico City, Madrid, and Paris.
The editorial line foregrounds hermeneutic analysis and theoretical conversations influenced by thinkers associated with Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Pierre Bourdieu, Antonio Gramsci, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Gadamer, Mikhail Bakhtin, Edward Said, Stuart Hall, Homi K. Bhabha, Gayatri Spivak, Fredric Jameson, Tzvetan Todorov, Julia Kristeva, Paul de Man, Harold Bloom, Northrop Frye, Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, Cornelius Castoriadis, Jean-Luc Nancy, Luisa Valenzuela, and Beatriz Sarlo. Topics range across national canons including Argentine, Mexican, Chilean, Peruvian, Colombian, Cuban, Brazilian, Venezuelan, Uruguayan, and Central American literatures, situating texts within cultural institutions such as Teatro Colón, Museo del Prado, Biblioteca Nacional de Argentina, Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia, and festivals like Hay Festival and Festival Internacional de Literatura de Guadalajara.
