Abstract

Pedro Salinas’ political involvement starts when the Spanish Civil War ends. At that time, and along with several thousand other Spaniards who shared Salinas’ situation, he has to start looking for new vital and literary horizons. Salinas ends up in the United States, hosted by different universities that offer him teaching positions. With this trip, Salinas starts his search for a lost identity, both individual and national, and this search will imply very specific political, ethical and social concerns in his intellectual production. Salinas’ world has changed radically and he feels the need to get involved in his new reality: his new identity is a political one that defends both an individual vindication and a new world status that involves a strong defense of ethics and pacifism.
