The objective of this article, is to analyze the cultural proposal of a group of writers who signed and published in the magazine Cormorán, in December 1970, the document, Política Cultural: por la creación de una cultura nacional y popular, under the self-styled Taller de escritores de la Unidad Popular. We analyze the diagnoses made by the writers, the foundational premises of what the "new culture" would be, the role that corresponded to the intellectuals in this process. It is an analytical exercise that delves into the process of reception, production and circulation of ideas on cultural policy of this group, in order to highlight the development of other projects that, although they were not considered by the government of Salvador Allende, are feasible to historicize, since they express representations, imaginaries and cultural projections of intellectuals who decided, from their adhesion and commitment to Unidad Popular, to contribute to the construction of what would be the "new socialist culture".
