The first year of the Unidad Popular had the intensity accumulated through years of discussion and hopes in order to legitimize an inclusive participation in the design of Chilean society. In response, intellectuals, writers and artists wanted to contribute to the construction of a new Chile, not without it confront divergent views and proposals, promoted interesting debates, some more intense than others. Cormoran journal (1969-1970) is an essential instrument able to account for this discussion, since it served as a device intervention in political and cultural debates of important national and international leading figures. Its proposal, articulated by Enrique Lihn and German Marin were decisive in proposing a new relationship between art and politics and confronted, at the same time, some tendencies that expected to instrumentalize art from ideological proposals that they did not respond to the particular nature of the process developed during the Unidad Popular.
