Magic realism
Borges's change in style from regionalist "[[criollismo]]" to a more cosmopolitan style brought him much criticism from journals such as "Contorno", a leftist, Sartre-influenced Argentine publication founded by [[David Viñas]] and his brother, along with other intellectuals such as [[Noé Jitrik]] and Adolfo Prieto. In the post-Peronist Argentina of the early 1960s, "Contorno" met with wide approval from the youth who challenged the authenticity of older writers such as Borges and questioned their legacy of experimentation. [[Magic realism]] and exploration of universal truths, they argued, had come at the cost of responsibility and seriousness in the face of society's problems.
