This paper seeks to dialogue with the preceding critic about the possible classification of Contemporáneos texts as avant-garde. Our proposal is that some of their poems can be classified as avant-garde if we understand the avant-garde as a 20th century art paradigm and not only as a historical category during the beginning of the century. For this purpose, in the first place, the dichotomy “threshold aesthetics / dilation aesthetics” is proposed to explain two avant-garde poetic modalities, starting from the expression “threshold aesthetics,” coined by Luciana Del Gizzo (2017). Secondly, the “aesthetics of dilation” is applied in the poetic Contemporáneos texts in contrast to the threshold aesthetics of stridentism or muralism, in the Mexican context.
