    Análisis de la recepción de la intelligentsia rusa en José Carlos Mariátegui y Alfonso Reyes
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Anillo Martínez, Zairo; Cuartas, Juan Manuel
    This article analyzes the reception of the Russian intelligentsia in the works of José Carlos Mariátegui and Alfonso Reyes, two key figures in 20th-century Latin American thought. The Russian intelligentsia, a group of intellectuals committed to social critique and political change in Tsarist Russia, significantly influenced both authors, who adapted these ideas to their Latin American contexts. Mariátegui incorporated the revolutionary ideals of the intelligentsia into his vision of Peru, emphasizing class struggle and the need for radical transformation. For him, the intellectual had to be deeply committed to social change, similar to the revolutionary Russian intellectuals, and direct their critique against existing power structures. Through this influence, Mariátegui promoted a social revolution that addressed the needs of indigenous peoples and the working classes of Latin America. On the other hand, Alfonso Reyes adopted a more moderate and humanistic approach to Russian influence, highlighting the role of the intellectual as a cultural mediator. Reyes avoided radical politicization and promoted the construction of an autonomous intellectuality in Latin America, focused on education and cultural dialogue. His concept of American intelligence reflected the search for a cultural identity that engaged with European traditions but was adapted to Latin American realities. The analysis reveals that both authors did not directly replicate the ideas of the Russian intelligentsia but reinterpreted them to formulate a critical and autonomous vision for Latin America. While Mariátegui leaned toward a militant stance, Reyes chose a more reflective and cultural path, both contributing to the shaping of Latin American thought that responds to the social and political challenges of the region.
