Both Modernism and Modernismo were movements around the turn of the 20th century which caused cultural upheaval and renovation in times where the society was, or needed to be, changing.
It has also been proposed that another reason for the modernismo movement was a sort of spiritual crisis, brought about because of a general lack of religious belief, which caused people to seek a substitute for religion in poetry (Steinberg 380).
In general, modernismo caused a dramatic change in the style of Hispanic literature, taking it from one of logic and didactic storytelling to a more fanciful, flexible and impressionistic form, while still adhering to a high standard of precision.

Moreover, I will demonstrate that modernismo, because it is the first Spanish American movement to take up the challenge of modernity—in all its ramifications—ushered in fundamental shifts in the roles assigned to the poet, language, and literature.
It is precisely the perception of the onset of this double threat—individual meaninglessness and possible political excess—that led Spanish American writers toward the end of the nineteenth century to follow in the literary footsteps of the European romantics.
In short, modernismo asserts its ability to comment on and even alter the positivistic, materialistic, and pragmatic course adopted by the Spanish American nations entering the modern age.

Indeed, since the modernismo of the late nineteenth century, Latin American writers have desired to be modern, and the concepts under consideration here, such as modernismo, Modernism, and the postmodern, represent different ways of exhibiting this desire.
From modernismo to the postmodern, the traditional (realist-naturalist) novel has served as a backdrop against which writers have created, challenging established modes of writing fiction, as well as other dominant cultural and political discourses of authority (36).
Unquestionably, the legacies of the realist-naturalist tradition and the writing of modernismo have had an enormous impact on virtually all literary efforts to be somehow "modern" in the twentieth century, including postmodern fiction.

 Jrade, Modernismo, Modernity, & the Development of Spanish American Literature, University of Texas Press
Modernismo arose in Spanish American literature as a confrontation with and a response to modernizing forces that were transforming Spanish American society in the later nineteenth century.
Jrade opens with a systematic consideration of the development of modernismo and then proceeds with detailed analyses of works-poetry, narrative, and essays-that typified and altered the movement's course.
She firmly abolishes any lingering tendency to associate modernismo with affectation and effete elegance, revealing instead how the modernistas' new literary language expressed their profound political and epistemological concerns.

In turn this communication led to the image of modernismo as a movement, indeed as the first specifically Latin American literary movement.
So, for instance, while González Prada and Martí are more obviously concerned with the social (either the racial injustice that preoccupies the former or the unfulfilled nationalism that drove the latter), a poem such as González Prada's sonnet "Cosmopolitismo" embraces the universal in a manner that we might suggest is typical of much modernista verse.
What he affirms is still a fatherland ("patria"), but a deterritorialized fatherland, unconfined to any particular locale; and it is associated with the idea of a universal brotherhood of generosity ("generosas manos") and natural warmth ("tibias Primaveras").

modernismo was a literary movement of aesthetic renewal, which took place around the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first of the twentieth.
It was an essentially syncretic movement, formed by the desire to join, among other things, a spiritualist feeling and an idealist reaction against bourgeois materialism and mediocrity; it also displayed a taste for otherness represented in eroticism, exoticism, and foreign themes.
modernismo aimed at renewing language in order to differentiate it from the previous models of realism and naturalism.

Consensual art history positions Brazilian Modernismo as an alternative modernity since its emphasis on national identity is quite distinct from the 'purer' aesthetic concerns of European modernism.
Such a distinction is often argued by referring to Modernismo's most notorious legacy: the Anthropophagite Manifesto, written by Oswald de Andrade in 1928.
It will argue that Modernismo's hybrid strategies went beyond negotiations between the centre and periphery to propose an art that, through ambivalence, was able to contain the contradictions present in the appropriated model itself.

"Modernismo" can be divided onto two distinct epochs: one from 1888 to 1898 that was shaped by French Parnassian and Formalist poetry, and the second epoch, after 1898, influenced by French symbolism and the socio-political conditions of Latin America.
During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the United States caused and presented the most fear for Latin America with its expansionist ambitions.
This dissertation will investigate the second epoch of "Modernismo" through discussion and analysis of three major writers: Jose Marti (Cuba, 1853-1895), Jose Enrique Rodo (Uruguay, 1872-1917), and Ruben Dario (Nicaragua, 1867-1916).

Yet, the gender of modernismo is complicated by continually shifting alliances between a feminized cosmopolitanism and masculine nationalism.
These realms analogized the separation of art from the dailiness of life, the rich from the poor, the cultured elite from the uncultured masses, and leisured spaces from workplaces.
This is certainly the case in the economies of modernismo, in which poets found work and the materialities of daily life beneath them; while their "work," the work of art, was so invaluable as to determine all value.
