The article begins by reenacting the double defense informing Seoane’s anti-fascism: defense against something (the rise of fascisms) and defense of something (beauty as an expression of the human virtue meant to prevail after the years of bombs and shrapnel). Then, the text delves into the world left by World War II, a context that I propose to conceive as one of eviction from history for those Republican exiled who remained in the expatration while the North Atlantic enhanced the postwar narrative. The article closes by analyzing the refraction of this trope into literary texts authored by Seoane as the poems’ collection As cicatrices (1959) and, primarily, the playwriting La soldadera (1957). These texts provide the base for a dialogue with the ideas on history written by Walter Benjamin in response to the anguishing atmosphere of his last months.
