Grupo de Boedo

Grupo de Boedo was a literary and cultural movement in Argentina during the early 20th century, centered around the Boedo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. It comprised writers, intellectuals, and artists who emphasized social realism, focusing on the lives of the working class and the struggles of everyday people. Notable figures included authors like Roberto Arlt and the playwrights of the time. The group aimed to promote Argentine identity and culture, often contrasting with the more affluent and avant-garde group from the nearby neighborhood of Florida. Their work contributed significantly to Argentine literature and social thought.
