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][2] Initially its publisher was a company with the same name which was also founded by Gasset.[3] The magazine is published by the Madrid-based Jose Ortega y Gasset Foundation on a monthly basis.[1][4]

From 1923 to 1936 the editor of Revista de Occidente was José Martínez Ruiz.[5] During this period the major contributors were Rosa Chacel,[6] Ramiro Ledesma[7] and Federico García Lorca.[8] Spanish novelist Benjamín Jarnés also published articles in the magazine.[9] One of the frequent topics which the magazine covered in its early period was the idea of Europe, and it became a transnational platform where this idea was discussed.[10]

Through Revista de Occidente José Ortega y Gasset laid the foundations of his approach on modernism.[11] Revista de Occidente was instrumental in making his modernist approach well-known across the world.[2] The magazine also featured articles on the acceptance of modernism in Spain.[12]

Revista de Occidente provided a platform for the young avant-garde artists and writers belonging to the Generation of '27, including Maruja Mallo.[12] Federico García Lorca first published some of his poems in Revista de Occidente.[3] Victoria Ocampo published the first article in Spanish on Virginia Woolf and her book entitled A Room of One’s Own in the magazine in 1934.[13] Max Aub's novel Geografía was first serialized in the magazine in 1927.[2]

Revista de Occidente did not only published literary work, but also covered articles about many distinct disciplines, including paleontology.[8] It played a significant role in introducing the views of the German philosopher Oswald Spengler in Spain from 1924.[14] In the early 1930s it adopted a liberal political stance.[15]

Revista de Occidente ceased publication in 1936 when the civil war began and also, its contributor Federico García Lorca died.[8] 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]
