Alfonso Reyes’ plan to form a Pan-American intellectual elite contains an esoteric element. As Reyes introduces key poetic words and literary texts to convey the mysticism and arcane knowledge that he believes emanated from the American continent, he configures an obscure dimension that resonates within the community of intellectuals that he seeks to organize. By tracing Reyes’ affinities with other Latin American and European intellectuals regarding his cultural project, and by addressing how these are inscribed in his historical context, this paper sheds new light on the operations Reyes assigned to a Pan-American intelligentsia that would guide the development of contemporary society. El plan de Alfonso Reyes para la formación de una intelligentsia panamericana contiene un elemento esotérico. Reyes configura una obscura dimensión, la cual resuena dentro de la comunidad de intelectuales que busca organizar, a medida que introduce palabras poéticas y textos literarios claves para trasmitir el misticismo y conocimiento arcano que él piensa emanan del continente. Al rastrear sus afinidades con intelectuales latinoamericanos y europeos acerca de su proyecto cultural, y al analizar como se inscriben en su contexto histórico, este artículo arroja una nueva luz sobre las operaciones que Reyes le asigna a la intelligentsia panamericana que guiaría el desarrollo de las sociedades contemporáneas.
