Sur was a literary magazine published in Buenos Aires between 1931 and 1992.
Sur was first published in 1931,[1][2] with the assistance of a multidisciplinary team of collaborators. Its founder and main backer was Victoria Ocampo,[2] and it was supported intellectually by the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset. Many of the earliest editions of Sur carry the colophon of Ortega's Revista de Occidente. Notable contributors and sometime editors included Jorge Luis Borges, H.A. Murena, José Bianco, Raimundo Lida, Adolfo Bioy Casares and Borges' Spanish brother-in-law Guillermo de Torre.[3]
The final issue of the magazine, no. 371, was published in 1992,[1][4] several years after Victoria's death in 1979. In the last twenty-six years of its existence, the publication of each issue became increasingly spaced out. Thus, during its peak, between 1931 and 1966, 305 issues of the magazine were published, whereas in the following twenty-six years only 67 issues were published.[5]
