ABSTRACT In the 43rd issue of the Mexican journal Cuadernos Americanos (1949), Francisco Ayala published “Para quién escribimos nosotros”, his milestone article on the reflection on the losses, alterations and uncertainties that would define the authorship of writers of the Spanish republican exile in itself and in its relationship with its possible readership. From the framework of Ayala’s essay, this article studies Celia, institutriz en América, one of the novels written by Elena Fortún in her Buenos Aires exile, published in Madrid by Aguilar in 1944, to determine how the author responded to that general conflict. The aim is to focus on why, how and with what implications Elena Fortún enacts the tension between two forces: the fidelity to the literary project around the character of Celia, initiated in Spain before the Civil War and characterized by a renovating modernity, and the demands associated with a certain reception (resulting, in turn, from the symbolic and cultural pact that has redefined everything), which is not only that of the public, but also that of the official and ecclesiastical censorship instituted by the dictatorship as a guarantee of orthodoxy.

摘要 在墨西哥期刊 Cuadernos Americanos (1949) 的第 43 期中，Francisco Ayala 发表了“Para quién escribimos nosotros”，这是他关于反思将定义西班牙共和流亡作家的作者身份的损失、变化和不确定性的里程碑式文章就其本身及其与可能的读者群的关系而言。本文从 Ayala 的文章框架中，研究了 Elena Fortún 在流亡布宜诺斯艾利斯时所写的小说之一 Celia, institutriz en América，该小说由 Aguilar 于 1944 年在马德里出版，以确定作者如何应对这一普遍冲突。目的是关注埃琳娜·福特恩 (Elena Fortún) 为何、如何以及以何种含义营造两种力量之间的张力：对围绕西莉亚角色的文学项目的忠诚度，
