Revista de Occidente (Spanish: Magazine of the West) is a cultural magazine which has been in circulation since 1923 with some interruptions. It is based in Madrid, Spain, and is known for its founder, José Ortega y Gasset, a Spanish philosopher.

History and profile

Revista de Occidente was established by José Ortega y Gasset in 1923.[1] Initially its publisher was a company with the same name which was also founded by Gasset.[2] The magazine is published by the Jose Ortega y Gasset Foundation based in Madrid on a monthly basis.[1][3]

From 1923 to 1936 the editor of the magazine was José Martínez Ruiz.[4] During this period the major contributors were Rosa Chacel,[5] Ramiro Ledesma[6] and Federico García Lorca.[7] Through the magazine José Ortega y Gasset laid the foundations of his approach on modernism.[8] The magazine also featured articles on the acceptance of modernism in Spain.[9]

The magazine played a significant role in providing a platform for the young avant-garde artists and writers belonging to the Generation of '27, including Maruja Mallo.[9] Federico García Lorca first published some of his poems in Revista de Occidente.[2] However, the magazine did not only published literary work, but also covered articles about many distinct disciplines, including paleontology.[7] In the early 1930s it adopted a liberal political stance.[10]

Revista de Occidente ceased publication in 1936 when the civil war began and also, its contributor Federico García Lorca died.[7] After a long hiatus the magazine was restarted in 1963.[1] It was not published in the period 1977–1980.[1] It was relaunched by Soledad Ortega Spottorno, daughter of José Ortega y Gasset, in 1980.[1] It mostly features articles on humanities and social sciences as well as interviews.[1]
