CHUECA, Luis Fernando. Surrealismo, estética e ideología en El autómata de Xavier Abril. Letras [online]. 2015, vol.86, n.123, pp.49-68. ISSN 2071-5072.

Xavier Abril, after writing poems closely linked to the avant-garde and especially surrealism, declares his Marxist conviction and his abandonment of avant-garde experiments representing, by his own admission, "a stage already outdated by the author". It is precisely when the transition between the two moments that Abril write nouvelle El autómata, modernist story with Gothic and fantastic elements, that can be read both as political critique of the bourgeois and alienating and reifying capitalism. This article seeks to place Abril y El autómata as the crossroads of the effervescence of modernism and its abandonment, and the aesthetic-politics discussion in the beginning of the 30’s in Peru

Keywords : Surrealism; Modernist narrative; Eesthetics and ideology.
