Edmond Vandercammen et le réseau du Journal des Poètes: la médiation culturelle du monde hispanique (1930-1970)

This article studies the role that the Belgian poet, critic, painter and translator Edmond Vandercammen (Ohain, 1901 - Uccle, 1980) has endorsed as a mediator of Hispanic literature in Belgium between 1930 and 1970. Specifically, we focus on the following elements: (1) analysis of the sociobiography of the mediator, i.e., his social and biographical trajectory in order to reconstruct his intercultural behaviors, perceptions and beliefs; and (2) analysis of the networks (here considered as written or oral, sometimes informal, sometimes institutionalized, exchange circuits between agents) which should allow to understand the role of the mediator within these networks as well as the (positive or negative) effects of these networks on the transfer activities of the mediator.
