This transformation was triggered by a new critical spirit and originated in the social and cultural developments after the Peronism. Throughout the decade, several journals carried out a critique of the cultural elite, and Contorno stood out among them. The journal was created as a cultural alternative to Sur (another Argentine literary magazine published regularly between 1931 and 1970). This confrontation is an example of cultural tensions after the overthrow of the Peronism in Argentina. The creators of Contorno were labeled by Emir Rodríguez Monegal “una generación parricida” (“the patricidal generation”) because of their interest in reviewing the omnipresent figures of Victoria Ocampo, Jorge Luis Borges, Eduardo Martínez Estrada and Eduardo Mallea.Key words: Sur, Contorno, Peronism, David Viñas, Ismael Viñas.
