Abstract
The study on exile in America has given an account of the intellectual «miscegenation» that brought about the re-knowledge of a new America for the poets, artists and humanists who migrated necessarily from the "uncivil" spanish war, as Castedo will call. In the article we study the thought of the historian and intellectual Leopoldo Castedo, disciple of Ortega y Gasset, fighter of the republican side, refugee of the Winnipeg, assistant of the historian Francisco Encina, prolific writer and photographer. During his life, he not only made a series of studies on Chile and the American art, but also traveled and traveled his landscapes in a truck and with a camera, knowing an unknown America. From the analysis of his last works, including an autobiographical one, we analyze his intellectual life in relation to his vision of Latin America, where we can see with greater clarity the particular Spanish-American symbiosis of the thought of a «transterrado».
