Abstract

The cultural front. The development of the “Nous Horitzons” journal (1960-1976)

In the late Fifties, the Partit Socialista Unificat de Catalunya started seeking visibility in Barcelona cultural circles in order to become the leading force of Catalan anti-Francoism. This article explores the development of the main means the party devised for this purpose, the cultural journal “Nous Horitzons”, which provides insights into the issues that interested Communists and into the way they intended cultural activity during Francoism.
