Cuadernos (Spanish: Notebooks) was a Spanish-language magazine that was published in Paris, France, in the period 1953–1965. Its full title was Cuadernos del Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura.[1] It was one of the publications of the Congress for Cultural Freedom.
History and profile[]
Cuadernos was launched by the Congress for Cultural Freedom in 1953 which targeted Spanish people and Latin Americans.[2][3] The first issue appeared in June 1954.[4] The editor of the magazine was a Spaniard politician, Julián Gorkin.[4] During his editorship another Spaniard politician Ignacio Iglesias also edited the magazine which was published on a quarterly basis.[4] Gorkin was replaced by a Spaniard exile in Paris, Luis Araquistáin, as editor of the magazine in late 1950s.[4] However, due to the death of Araquistáin a Colombian diplomat Germán Arciniegas was named as the editor of the magazine.[1][2]
The content of Cuadernos included Hispanic poems, articles on anti-Soviet propaganda and political and cultural news from the European and Latin American countries.[2] In 1961 the frequency of the magazine was switched to monthly.[4] The magazine folded by the Congress in 1965 due to its low popularity[1][2] and its lower levels of circulation although it targeted Hispanic people in Spain and Latin America.[5] The magazine never enjoyed high levels of circulation like Encounter or Der Monat, other magazines of the Congress.[5] The last issue, the 100th issue, of Cuadernos was published in September 1965.[4] Mundo Nuevo, another Spanish language magazine, succeeded Cuadernos.[5]
