Abstract The emergence of internet in the 1990s transformed the cultural industry on a global scale in a gradual and definitive way and put print journalism at risk. This article aims to investigate, from the analysis of the Brazilian case, the dimension of these changes and try to answer the following issues. How have digital publications transformed the production and dissemination of content? Will the paper publications will still have space? Can alternative digital publications face the big media? Will they take the place of the political-cultural magazines of the past? finally, how can we think the relationships among intellectuals, culture and politcs in the field of cultural and mediatic production? The analysis of these and other issues will start from two temporal perspectives. The first one will be the 1970s, the peak of the military dictatorship, when the so-called alternative press worked as a bastion of resistance to the regime and magazines such as Versus, of Latin American character, circulated. The second will be the current context, with Brazil under a government of the extreme right, in which digital publications seek to act as a counterweight to the voice of the hegemonic media that yesterday supported the dictatorship of 1964, and today the political trial of Dilma Roussef in 2016 and the current government.

Resumen El surgimiento de internet en los años 1990 transformó la industria cultural en escala mundial de manera paulatina y definitiva, poniendo en jaque al periodismo impreso. Este artículo pretende investigar, a partir del análisis del caso brasileño, la dimensión de tales cambios y avanzar en la respuesta a las siguientes preguntas: ¿De qué manera las publicaciones digitales han transformado la producción y difusión de contenidos? ¿Aún habrá espacio para las publicaciones en papel? ¿Las publicaciones digitales alternativas podrán enfrentar a los grandes medios? ¿Ocuparán el lugar de las revistas político-culturales del pasado? Finalmente, ¿cómo pensar las relaciones entre los intelectuales, la cultura y la política en el campo de la producción cultural y mediática? Para ello se partirá de dos recortes temporales. El primero será la década de 1970, auge de la dictadura militar, cuando la llamada prensa alternativa fungió como un bastión de resistencia al régimen y circularon revistas como Versus, de cariz latinoamericanista. El segundo será el contexto actual, con Brasil bajo un gobierno de extrema derecha, en que las publicaciones digitales buscan actuar como contraparte a la voz de los medios hegemónicos que apoyaron la dictadura de 1964, el impeachment de Dilma Roussef en 2016 y sostienen el actual gobierno.

Abstract: The article sets out to think about the influence and importance of Cultural Studies in Latin America and if it is appropriate to talk about Latin American Cultural Studies. Based on the analysis of some of the anthologies on this issue published from 1998 to 2003, the authors intend to understand under what kind of criteria the groups are organized, which are the dynamics of the circulation of the researchers, what is the importance of their affiliation to universities and institutes located either in Latin American countries or in the United States, and, finally, the current state of this discussion.

RESUMEN: El presente artículo pretende reflexionar sobre la incidencia e importancia de los Estudios Culturales en América Latina y si es pertinente hablar de Estudios Culturales Latinoamericanos. A partir del análisis de algunas de las antologías que, alrededor del tema, se publicaron entre 1998 y 2003, se busca entender la dinámica de organización de los grupos, la circulación de los autores, la importancia de su vinculación a universidades e institutos latinoamericanos o estadounidenses y se especula sobre qué ocurre hoy en el ámbito de la discusión.

Rodrigo Otávio e Cyro dos Anjos estiveram no México no cumprimento de funções político-diplomáticas. Rodrigo Otávio visitou o país pela primeira vez em 1923 e Cyro dos Anjos o fez exatamente 30 anos depois. Neste artigo serão analisados os registros escritos que deixaram (o livro de viagem de Rodrigo Otávio e as cartas pessoais e oficiais de Cyro dos Anjos), a fim de saber como estes intelectuais analisaram o país, a partir de sua ligação profissional e afetiva com ele, num período em que as relações culturais e intelectuais entre o México e o Brasil eram escassas e episódicas.

Rodrigo Otávio and Cyro dos Anjos were in Mexico to accomplish diplomatic and political duties. Rodrigo Otávio visited the country for the first time in 1923 and Cyro dos Anjos did the same thirty years later. In this article the written records that they left will be analyzed (Rodrigo Otávio's travel book and Cyro dos Anjo's personal and official letters) in order to know how both intellectuals conceived the country, regarding their professional and affective ties with it, in times when the cultural and intellectual relations between Mexico and Brazil were scarce and sporadic.

This article analyzes the way political and cultural relations evolved between Mexico and Brazil during the period from 1919 to 1939 on the basis of the study of the correspondence between Brazilian diplomatic representatives in Mexico. It seeks to understand the extent to which Brazil's historic political and cultural isolation on the continent, its traditional policy of alignment with the United States and the obvious conservatism of its government intervene in the image its diplomats constructed of Mexico and Mexicans in their analysis of the country's cultural and political events.

En este trabajo se analiza cómo evolucionaron las relaciones político-culturales entre México y Brasil en el periodo de 1919 a 1939, a partir del estudio de la correspondencia de los representantes diplomáticos brasileños en México. Se busca entender hasta qué punto el histórico aislamiento político y cultural de Brasil en el continente, su tradicional política de alineamiento con Estados Unidos y el evidente conservadurismo de su gobierno intervinieron en la imagen que sus diplomáticos construyeron de México y los mexicanos en sus análisis de los acontecimientos culturales y políticos del país.

De 1922 a 1938, as relações culturais entre o México e o Brasil conheceram um momento particularmente fecundo, devido em grande parte à atuação de dois intelectuais mexicanos: José Vasconcelos e Alfonso Reyes. A ausência de uma tradição de intercâmbio cultural entre o México e o Brasil fez do âmbito diplomático um espaço fundamental para a aproximação entre os dois países. Como representantes do governo mexicano - e transitando entre as fronteiras muitas vezes difusas da cultura e da política -, Vasconcelos, em 1922, e Reyes, de 1930 a 1938, estabeleceram uma ampla rede de contatos com intelectuais brasileiros e conseguiram fazer do México uma referência cultural e política importante no Brasil, durante o período.

From 1922 to 1938, cultural relations between Mexico and Brazil had a particularly rich moment basically due to two Mexican intellectuals: José Vasconcelos and Alfonso Reyes. There was no tradition of cultural interchange between Mexico and Brazil; so the diplomatic sphere was transformed into a fundamental space for the approximation between these two countries. As representatives of the Mexican government - traveling between the frequently diffuse boundaries of culture and politics - Vasconcelos, in 1922, and Reyes, from 1930 to 1938, established a wide network of contacts with Brazilian intellectuals and managed to make Mexico an important cultural reference in Brazil, during that period.
