Abstract
The Ponencia Colectiva , written by Arturo Serrano Plaja in the name of the Spanish youth, was not only a reflection on the writer's place in society, but also a statement in the concrete historical context of the Spanish Civil War. It was presented in the II Congreso Internacional de Escritores para la Defensa de la Cultura , which was inspired and directed by organisms and fellow travellers of the Communist Party. Those who signed the Ponencia Colectiva demanded an art centred in mankind, far away from the pure art and the propaganda art. They put at the disposal of the republican government, supported by the U.S.S.R., both their intellectual work and their effort as young men in the fight, rejecting the anarchic revolutionarism. They also declared their intellectual and political autonomy. This aspiration joined them to the project of the journal Hora de Espana , to which most of them were regular contributors.
