What is it about?
Manuel Durán is a Spanish–Mexican writer and scholar. He arrived in Mexico at a young age and is considered a member of the second generation of Spanish Republican exile in Mexico. This article focuses on an essayistic dimension in his scholarly work Francisco de Quevedo (1978), which draws parallels between Quevedo’s Golden Age and the XXth Century in Spain, portraying both eras as violent and unstable. In this way, the book shows the mark of exile.

Why is it important?
Maingueneau’s concept of “scenography”, and the methods of discourse analysis in general, proof to be particularly useful in uncovering the relations between Duran’s Francisco de Quevedo and the context of the author’s present and the origins of his exile.
