Abstract The narrative of indigenous extinction and the construction of a “white” Argentina entailed an ethnogeographic imaginary by which the territories of the former Spanish colonies were inhabited since the nineteenth century by gauchos or eventually peasants. The population classified as indigenous, in this view, was projected outside the central areas controlled by the nation-state, beyond the frontiers of the Pampas, Patagonia, and the Chaco. Historical writing accepted and contributed to the formation of this image by characterizing the political mobilization of gauchos or peasants (especially in their bellicosity as montoneras — irregular militia units) as a natural reflection of the projects of elites, factions, patrons, or parties. That historiography dismissed as irrelevant any demands stemming from the gauchos and peasantry themselves, such as those based on the long historical experience of indigenous peoples. Based on documents preserved by inhabitants of the travesía, or the desert, of Guanacache, in the central Cuyo region, the descendants of the Huarpe Indians who were considered extinct in the seventeenth century, this analysis stresses the continuity of indigenous claims and the political strategies of the communities of the countryside during the nineteenth century. While recognizing that other factors were involved in political mobilization, this analysis shows the primary importance of indigenous claims in an area of traditional montonero rebellion and civil conflict, and the active participation of the region in the construction of the state beginning in the 1820s. Indigenous leaders who also served as government officials pressed for institutionalized recognition of indigenous rights. That pressure eventually led to the acceptance of their claims and the maintenance of relative political autonomy until the 1870s.

The interest in the history and culture of Argentina in the Russian Federation today has a special char-acter. It is believed that the presence of a huge number of immigrants from Europe, including from Russia, distinguishes Argentina culturally from oth-er countries of the New World, makes its culture more understandable. There is a perception that this is the most Europeanized country in South America. To a large extent, this ideologeme is the result of foreign policy pursued by Argentina itself. At the same time, the process of the formation of national identity in here was complicated and did not end until the 40s of the 20th century. The relevance of the study is to reveal the inconsistency of this process on the material of sculpture as a document of the era, to show the rejection by masters from a remote region of the country, the province of Chaco, the prevailing ideas about the barbarity and savagery of the Indians and Gauchos, the original population of this province and part of other territories of the state. The novelty lies in the comparative compari-son of the positions of the academic art history of Argentina and academic art in the understanding of Indian themes and in how it was interpreted by re-gional masters – K. Dominguez (died in 1969), C. Schenone (1907–1963), J. de la Mena (1897–1954), as well as in the art history analysis of significant works of the considered problematic and the roman-tic tendencies manifested in them. It is advisable to correlate the process of “Europeanization” of Indi-ans, bloody and long-term hostilities in order to expel the gaucho and Indians from their ancestral lands with the understanding of who was the true hero of history in the creations of their descendants. The works of the sculptors Chaco, romantic in spirit, are related to the great J. Hernandez’s poem “Martin Fierro”. Today they are kept not only in the capital of Chaco, Resistencia, but also in museums in Buenos Aires and foreign collections

Full textAbstract:
The epic struggles between Mexicans and the Apaches and Comanches in the far northern reaches of the Spanish empire and the conflict between gauchos and Araucanians in the pampas in the far south are the images the mind conjures up when thinking of Latin American frontiers. We must now add for the twentieth century the dense Amazon jungle as one of the last frontiers in popular (and scholarly) minds. However, these images ignore the eastern Andean and Chaco frontier area, one of the most vital and important frontier regions in Latin America since colonial times, today divided up into three different countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay) in the heart of the South American continent. This frontier region has not received sufficient attention from scholars despite its importance in at least three different aspects: First, the indigenous peoples were able to remain independent of the Creole states much longer than elsewhere other than the Amazon. Secondly, indigenous labor proved to be vitally important to the economic development along the fringes, and thirdly, a disastrous war was fought over the region in the 1930s by Bolivia and Paraguay. This essay provides an overview based on primary and secondary sources of the history of the eastern Andean frontier and compares it to other frontiers in Latin America. It thus endeavors to contribute to frontier studies by creating categories of analysis that make possible the comparisons between different frontiers in Latin America and placing within the scholarly discussion the eastern Andean region during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Full textAbstract:
Between November 1879 and January 1880, the argentine author Eduardo Gutierrez published a serialized narrative of the life of Juan Moreira in the Buenos Aires newspaper La Patria Argentina. Titled simply Juan Moreira, the heroic tale of the real-life outlaw went like this: Moreira was a good gaucho gone bad, who fought to preserve his honor against the backdrop of modernizing forces that were transforming life in this part of South America. His string of crimes and ultimate downfall resulted from his unjust persecution by corrupt state officials. The success of the serial surpassed all expectations. The paper's sales skyrocketed, and the melodramatic narrative soon appeared in book form. Enterprising printers produced tens of thousands of authorized and pirated editions to sell in the Rio de la Plata (Argentina and Uruguay), making Juan Moreira a leading example of everyday reading for the region's rapidly growing literate population and one of Latin America's pre-twentieth-century bestsellers (Acree, Everyday Reading; Gutiérrez, The Gaucho Juan Moreira).

Full textAbstract:
Cultural appropriation has often been linked to American treatment of indigenous cultures. In Playing Indian, for example, Philip J. Deloria investigates how images of Indianness, however inauthentic, stereotypical, or completely ethnocentric, work to help white Americans come to terms with their history of conquest and possession. While the term cultural appropriation has been linked to the conflict between dominant and indigenous cultures as Deloria suggests, it is used far less frequently with respect to American and Latin American cultural identities. Yet, the preponderance of movies and literary works in which Americans follow the same rubric – use Latin American culture to define American cultural identity – evoke the same sense of loss on the part of Latin Americans, in this case, Argentines. For over a century, for example, the gaucho has been examined, evaluated, and reevaluated by Argentines within gauchesque literature to make sense of modernization, notions of civilization versus barbarism, and what creates argentinidad, or what it means to be Argentine. Ricardo Güiraldes sought to respond to the cultural appropriation and misrepresentation of the gaucho, specifically that gaucho culture could be taken up by anyone and used for any purpose, no matter how benign; and that gauchos were a part of the past, eschewing modernization in forms such as industrial ranching and technology when, in fact, they embraced it. In Don Segundo Sombra, Güiraldes addresses these issues. Rather than permit cultural appropriation and ethnocentrism to remain unremarked upon, Güiraldes demonstrates that gaucho culture has remarkable qualities that cannot be imitated by novices, both foreign and native. He then examines gaucho culture, particularly the link between frontier life and economic displacement, in order to champion the gaucho and argentinidad as the models for Argentines to follow.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the history of emigration of Jews from the south of Ukraine to Argentina in the late 19th - early 20th century and the role of Odessa in the organizational, economic and educational support of the resettlement process. An analysis of the transformation of the idea of the Argentine project from the beginning of compact settlements to the possibility of creating a Jewish state in Patagonia is given. There are provided such aspects as reasons, preconditions and motives of emigration, its stages and results, the exceptional contribution of the businessman and philanthropist Maurice de Hirsch to the foundation of Jewish settlements in Argentina. There are reflected a legislative aspect, in particular, the first attempt of Russian government to regulate migration abroad with the Regulations for activity in Russia of the Jewish Colonization Association founded in Great Britain; various forms and directions of the work of Odessa JCA committee; the activities of the Argentine Vice-Consulate (1906-1909) and the Consul General of Argentina in Odessa (1909-1917). There are also presented some valuable archival genealogical documents from the State Archives of the Odessa Region, namely the lists of immigrants on the steamer "Bosfor" in April 30, 1894. The article highlights the conditions in which the emigrants started their activities in Argentina in 1888, establishment of the first Jewish colony of Moisesville, the difficulties in economic arrangement and social adaptation, and the process of settlement development from the first unsuccessful attempts to cultivate virgin lands to the numerous farms and ranches with effective economic activities. An interesting social phenomenon of interethnic diffusion of indigenous and jewish cultures and the formation of a unique "Gaucho Jews" group of population is covered. It is provided information on the current state of Jewish settlements in Argentina and fixing their history in literature, music, cinema, documentary. It is emphasized that using historical research and direct contacts with the descendants of emigrants to Argentina could be very useful and actual for increasing the efficiency and development of Ukrainian-Argentine economic and cultural ties

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o projeto folclorista de João Simões Lopes Neto (1865-1916), redesenhando suas conexões com movimentos contemporâneos de definição da cultura popular, além de seus contatos com práticas de representação letrada baseadas na cultura campesina dos países vizinhos, Argentina e Uruguai. Metodologicamente, explorarei a materialidade/edição e a economia textual de seu livro Cancioneiro Guasca (1910-1917). É possível concluir que existiu um projeto coletivo de invenção de tradições gaúchas no Rio Grande do Sul da Primeira República, suportado pelas práticas do folclorismo mais amplo, do qual participou o esforço simoniano. Essa variação de identidade gaúcha também observava o projeto castilhista-positivista de modernização conservadora, além de integrar a patrulha nacionalista de suas fronteiras simbólicas.

Full textAbstract:
De récentes études consacrées à l'Argentine coloniale ont remis en question la naissance du latifundio au 18e siècle comme élément de l'héritage espagnol et, qui plus est, elles laissent entendre aussi que le gaucho, archétype et quintessence de la toute nouvelle nationalité argentine, n'a pas été le seul et unique moteur de l'occupation de l'espace et du déplacement de la frontière. Qu'est-il arrivé pour qu'en si peu de temps des pans aussi essentiels de notre histoire aient connu des ouragans aussi dévastateurs ? Assurément, il n'existe pas d'explications univoques mais plutôt une série de questions de caractère différent liées aux problèmes idéologiques de notre classe d'éleveurs et des secteurs du pouvoir qui lui sont relatifs. Ces groupes sociaux se considèrent eux-mêmes comme les dépositaires d'une nationalité enracinée dans la période coloniale. Rien n'est plus éloigné de la vérité historique, mais toujours est-il qu'on a fait croire que la majorité de la société argentine était d'origine européenne et issue de l'immigration massive qui allait commencer à la fin du siècle dernier (dans les années 1880), et que tel cela avait été. Personne n'aurait osé faire remarquer que beaucoup de patronymes de lignées de propriétaires terriens étaient apparus également au 19e et qu'ils n'étaient même pas d'origine espagnole.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes the theoretical and ideological interests of the first philosophical essays in Argentina from an intellectual-history perspective. Saúl Taborda (1885-1943), Homero Guglielmini (1903-1968) and Carlos Astrada (1894-1971) had similar theoretical and political trajectories. From the 1920s, when they were in charge of incipient philosophical and avant-garde magazines, they were influenced by the writings of Nietzsche and Sorel. Later, they were interested in German romanticism and Heidegger's work, in the moment when Astrada and Guglielmini became two of the most important intellectuals of Juan Domingo Perón's government. While the so-called historical revisionism has received a remarkable attention, we only have a few works on this philosophical revisionism in Argentina. It is necessary, thus, to differentiate these early revisionist writings from their counterparts dedicated to history. The philosophers did not react to the continuous waves of immigration but rather to liberal political innovations taken as "foreign ideas". They focused especially on the figure of the gaucho and proposed a non-Catholic reading of Hispanicism. In a nutshell, they argued against individualism and forth theoretical tools to think a collective subject. Therefore, this work describes a theoretical trajectory that is well known at the European level, ranging from vitalist and aestheticist irrationalism to nationalist and strongly anti-individualist organisationalist positions.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa analisa as representações do gaucho nos quadrinhos de Inodoro Pereyra, personagem criada pelo humorista argentino Roberto Fontanarrosa na década de 70 do século XX. Nascido como uma paródia da literatura gauchesca, do radioteatro e do folclore argentino, a trajetória do renegau retoma a metáfora sarmientina civilização e barbárie, que atravessa não só a história deste país, mas se inscreve na tradição política de toda a América Latina. Neste sentido, através dos quadrinhos deste gaucho é possível rediscutir importantes questões que marcaram a história da República Argentina, tais como as oposições entre pampa e litoral, unitários e federais, nacionalismo e cosmopolitismo, e que compõem a imagem de uma nação dividida. Além disso, a epopéia vivida pela personagem permite que redimensionemos o tema "as duas Argentinas", tendo em vista que este quadrinho está transpassado por imagens relacionadas ao imaginário social desta nação
Abstract: This research analyzes the representations of the gaucho in the comics of Inodoro Pereyra, a character created by the Argentine comedian Roberto Fontanarrosa, in the 70s of the twentieth century. Born as a parody of Gauchesca literature, of radiotheater and of Argentine folklore, the renegau's trajectory retakes the sarmientina metaphor of civilization and barbarism, which crosses not only the History of this country, but also inscribes itself in all Latin America's political tradition. In this sense, through the comic of this gaucho, it is possible to rediscuss important issues that have marked the history of the Argentine Republic such as the oppositions between pampa and coast, unitary and federal, nationalism and cosmopolitanism, which composes the image of a divided nation. Moreover, the epopee experienced by the character allows us to resize the theme "two Argentinas". Considering that, this comic is transfixed by images related to the social imagination of this nation

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se propose de faire une anthropologie socio-historique des cultes de deux saints non reconnus par l’Église, le Gaucho Gil et San la Muerte, tous deux originaires de la province de Corrientes dans le Nord-Est de l'Argentine. L’objectif est à la fois d'analyser la genèse de ces phénomènes et de définir l’apport de la religion populaire dans la construction d’identités collectives. Il s'agit d'interroger la dimension politique et l'historicité de ces systèmes symboliques et rituels en spécifiant les liens qu'ils entretiennent avec la culture guarani et avec la résistance à une situation d'oppression sociale. La réflexion débute par l’exploration socio-historique de la constitution des populations de l’intérieur de l'Argentine afin de comprendre dans quelle mesure ces cultes naissent dans un contexte de mépris social et culturel et de déni de mémoire qui a catégorisé les classes populaires rurales comme subalternes et invisibles. Dans un second temps sont présentées, dans le détail, à partir des données couplées de l’anthropologie historique et d'une analyse ethnographique locale, la fabrication aussi bien des légendes, des images que des pratiques rituelles, du Gaucho Gil puis du San la Muerte. Cette exploration contextualisée nous permet pour finir d’envisager ces dévotions non plus comme de simples résistances à l’ordre ou comme des reproductions déformées de la religion catholique, mais comme des créations culturelles autonomes, issues d’un peuple nouveau et métissé, qui produit une mémoire et des symboles aptes à rendre compte des expériences de sa conditionThis thesis offers a socio-historic anthropology of the worship of two saints not recognized by the Church, Gaucho Gil and San la Muerte, in the province of Corrientes, in the North-East of Argentina. It aims at analyzing the genesis of these phenomena and at defining the contribution of popular religion in the construction of collective identities. It means to question the political dimension and the historicity of these symbolic and ritual systems by specifying the links they maintain with the guarani culture and with the resistance to a situation of social oppression. The study begins with a socio-historic exploration of the constitution of Argentina inland populations in order to understand to what extent these cults were born in a context of social and cultural contempt and denial of memory which has categorized the rural popular classes as subordinate and invisible. Secondly, the making of the legends, images and ritual practices related to gaucho Gil and San la Muerte are explained both through historic anthropology and a local ethnographical analysis. Finally, this contextualized exploration leads to consider these worships no longer as simple means of resistance to an established order or as distorted reproductions of the Catholic religion, but as autonomous cultural creations which belong to a new and mixed people, producing a memory and symbols which accurately represent the experience of their condition

Full textAbstract:
Les années 1970, en Argentine, sont marquées, jusqu’au coup d’Etat de mars 1976, par une intense montée de la conflictualité sociale en général et de la conflictualité ouvrière en particulier. Cette situation, ouverte par le Cordobazo de mai 1969, taraude les bases du régime militaire de la Révolution argentine. En 1973, le retour du péronisme au pouvoir après dix-huit années de proscription ne permet pas de juguler cette poussée. Après la mort de Juan Domingo Perón, cette dernière se poursuit sous la présidence d’Isabel Perón. Elle débouche ainsi en juillet 1975 sur la première grève générale de l’histoire argentine tournée contre un gouvernement justicialiste : c’est le Rodrigazo. Parallèlement, au sein des secteurs les plus radicalisés du mouvement ouvrier, des structures de coordination et d’auto-organisation, les Coordinadoras, font leur apparition. Ce travail, qui englobe la période constitutionnelle allant de mai 1973 à mars 1976, se centre sur les tendances à la rupture entre la base ouvrière et populaire péroniste et « son » gouvernement. A la jonction de l’histoire sociale et de l’histoire du mouvement ouvrier, puisant dans la presse de l’époque, commerciale autant que militante, ainsi que dans l’histoire orale, cette étude se veut comme une contribution à un « cinquième récit » des années 1970 en Argentine. A la différence des quatre lectures historiographiques ou « récits » qui ont prévalu depuis 1976, (« récit des militaires », « théorie des deux démons », « récit du renouveau », « récit kirchnériste »), ce travail a pour objet d’analyser les conditions d’émergence de cette conflictualité sociale, ses différentes modalités d’expression, sa cristallisation à travers diverses formes d’organisation et d’auto-organisation, mais également la façon dont la gauche radicale des années 1970 intervient en son seinUntil the coup of March 1976, the 1970s were characterised in Argentina by a dramatic increase of social conflict in general, and of worker conflict in particular. This situation, which was initiated by the Cordobazo of May 1969, goaded the military regime of the Argentinian Revolution. The return to power of the Peronists in 1973, after 18 years of proscription, could not stop the deepening conflict. It continued after Juan Domingo Perón’s death, and throughout Isabel Perón’s period in power. In 1975 it led to the first ever general strike in Argentinian history, which was orchestrated against a justicialist government: the Rodrigazo. Simultaneously, in the most radical sectors of the workers’ movement, coordination and self-organisation structures (the Coodinadoras) began to appear. This work covers the constitutional period from May 1973 to March 1976, and focuses on the widening rift between Perón and the workers and the population at large. It aims to contribute to a “fifth” reading of the 1970s in Argentina by positioning itself at the crossroads between social history and labour history, and basing itself on mainstream and militant press coverage of the time and oral history. Unlike the four historiographical readings which have predominated since 1976 (the “military reading”, the “two demons theory”, the “renewal reading”, and the “kirchnerist reading”) this work aims to analyses the conditions from which the social conflict emerged, the different ways in which it expressed itself, its crystallisation through various forms of organisation and self-organisation, and also the role played by the radical left in the process

Este trabalho dissertativo tem por principal objetivo identificar e rastrear as percepções que o escritor argentino, Jorge Luís Borges, possuía sobre a história (mesmo não sendo historiador de formação) e como essas se manifestam através de seus contos literários. Para tanto, são analisados uma série de contos de sua autoria que priorizem essa investigação, produzidos em diversos e distintos momentos de sua vida. O texto dividese em duas partes (atos): no primeiro nosso enfoque será como Borges percebe o ato de se fazer/escrever história, ou seja, como se dá a produção, publicação, manifestação e aceitação de um texto histórico, e para isso cotejaremos três contos, La loteria en Babilonia, Tema del traidor y del heroe e Guayaquil. No segundo capítulo (ato) traremos uma vertente da escrita de Borges mais ligada a temáticas argentinas, suas narrativas criollas, e como que através dessas o autor constantemente reflete sobre a história da Argentina e de alguns de seus mais tradicionais personagens, os gauchos e compadritos, representando os valores, costumes e tradições dessas emblemáticas figuras. Nesse segundo momento analisaremos os contos Hombre de la esquina rosada, Historia de Rosendo Juárez, El muerto, El fin e El sur. Em ambos os capítulos analisaremos como as percepções e representações de Borges sobre a história, seja em seu caráter mais “filosófico”, seja em seu caráter mais criollista (temáticas ligadas à Argentina) mudam com o passar da vida do autor. Se em um dado momento a história lhe parece “salvadora”, capaz de “gerar mudanças”, em outro lhe parecerá banal e tratada com ironia; já no segundo ato perceberemos como sua percepção sobre coragem como valor representativo de uma argentinidade também irá cambiar, assim como, quando pretende representar a Argentina ou Buenos Aires, seus pensamentos comumente estão ligados muito mais ao passado do que ao presente, gerando um sentimento de nostalgia por parte do autor. O principal objetivo é verificar, como a história, em último caso, será aqui vista como uma das temáticas ou “símbolos” que mais povoou a carreira literária de Jorge Luís Borges.This research work is primarily focused on identifying and tracking the perceptions that the Argentine writer, Jorge Luis Borges, had on the History (even though he had no historian formation) and how these perceptions are manifested through his literary short stories. Therefore, we selected and analyzed a number of short stories of his own that conduct this research. Those were produced in various and different moments of his life. The dissertation is divided in two parts (acts): on the first one our focus will be on how Borges realizes the act of making / writing history, in other words, we will explore how the production, publication, demonstration and acceptance of a historical text happens, and, for that, we will analyze three short stories, La loteria en Babilonia, Tema del traitor y del héroe and Guayaquil. On the second chapter (act) we will bring Borges’ writings more linked to Argentine themes, their criollas narratives, and how through these narratives the author constantly reflects about the history of Argentina and some of its traditional characters, both the gauchos and compadritos representing their values, customs and traditions of these emblematic figures. On this second moment we will analyze the Hombre de la esquina Rosada, Historia de Rosendo Juárez, El muerto, El fin and El sur. In both chapters we will analyze the perceptions and representations of Borges on the matters of history - on his most "philosophical" texts, or in his most criollista texts (those related to Argentina) – and its changes over the author's life. If at a certain moment the history seems to him as a "savior", something able to "create changes", in another moments it will seem banal and treated with irony; on the second act we realize how his perception of courage as a representative value of an Argentinity will also change, as well as when he wants to represent Argentina or Buenos Aires, his thoughts are usually linked more to the past than to the present, creating a sense of nostalgia felling in the author. Thus, our main objective is to verify how History, ultimately, is seen as a thematic or "symbols" that most appears in the literary work of Jorge Luis Borges.

Ce travail original fait la lumière sur l'origine et l'évolution du cheval de race Criolla en relation avec l'origine et l'évolution de la culture des Indiens Pampas. Ces indigènes américains, venant généralement de l'actuel territoire chilien, ont adopté le cheval arrivé d'Europe dans la pampa à partir du XVIe siècle et ont développé une culture dont le centre était le cheval. Cet animal a également connu une évolution : originaire d'Europe, la vie dans la grande plaine argentine l'a modifié mais c'est surtout le travail de sélection inconscient fait par les Pampas qui va permettre l'apparition du cheval Criollo, récupéré et organisé, au début du XXe siècle, en tant que race par le Professeur Solanet et ses amis. L'influence des indigènes dans le processus de formation de la race Criolla est désormais claire ainsi que les fondations de la culture des Indiens PampasThis original work explains the origin and the evolution of the Criollo horse in relation to the Pampa Indian 's culture. The Native Americans, generally coming from the actual Chilean territory, adopted the horse arrived from Europe in the Pampa from the 16th century and developed a culture which center was the horse. The animal suffered an evolution as well : coming from Europe, the life in the great Argentine plain modified it but it is especially the work of unconscious selection done by the Pampas that is going to allow the apparition of the Criollo horse, got back and organized as a breed at the beginning of the 20th century by Professor Solanet and his friends. The influence of the Native Americans in the formation of the Criollo breed is now clear as is the foundations of the Pampa Indians' culture

In my dissertation I study the ways in which the literary figures of free males on horseback, the Cossacks and the gauchos, were endowed with political meanings in the River Plate and Ukraine of the 1830s and 1840s. My study is located within the field of history of political culture with special attention paid to ideology, its symbolical representations and the ways in which they formed part of broader mythologies. The two cases are not studied for their own sake, but as examples of complex ideological tensions caused by the expansion of state and the transformation of bourgeois society. What brings their stories together is their having a common point of reference in the late Enlightenment/Romantic fantasy of ‘nonmodernity’ of which the anarchic frontier horseman is just one symbol. The overarching question that I address is how several different actors in their contingent environments employed these symbols to construct the male subject of modern politics (modernity being understood here as a disciplinary myth and a claim-making concept, rather than a tangible historical condition). I offer contextualized interpretations of several texts: verse journals directed at uneducated subalterns of Buenos Aires at the beginning of 1830s; a historical novel by Nikolai Gogol; a celebrated biographical essay by Domingo F. Sarmiento; pulp novels, secret reports, memoirs and propaganda dossiers of Michał Czajkowski, a Polish-Lithuanian politician and military commander based in Istanbul; Polishand Ukrainian-language writings of several minor authors from Austrian Galicia. I show that the Cossack/gaucho myths are just two examples of dream about the free life beyond the limitations imposed by the state and society. In fact, that dream was present in many other environments and took many different guises, US cowboys being just one obvious, though chronologically later, example. Such longings were inextricably linked to the global ‘structured transformations’ interpreted by the historical actors as the rise of ‘modernity,’ though clearly the figure of anarchic frontier horseman was not the only conceptual tool used to cope with them. What made the Cossack/gaucho myths so successful was that they were a very specific antithesis of ‘modernity,’ one that combined 1) the rejection of state and family; 2) the claim to be truly native; 3) and the promise of liberating the repressed masculine instincts.

Nineteenth-century Argentine prose literature concerning the frontier articulates 'otherness' as a function of a broader textual strategy: the construction of an identifiable, explicit or implicit, normative subject. In Sarmiento's Facundo (1845), gauchos are posited as lacking access to social symbolism and, voiceless, they are depicted on the register of the Lacanian Imaginary. As such, they are inimical mirror images of a normative subject of equally absolute traits. The authorial voice is distinguished from its enemies by its possession and manipulation of language. In Mansilla's Una excursion a los indios ranqueles (1870), gauchos and Indians serve as masks or foils that disguise the authorial sense of exile from a source of power. The first-person narrator is a de-centered subject who recovers lost authority through the production of textual prosopons. His skepticism and irony establish a complicity with his readers and create an urbane 'we' that explores the naive world of the frontier inhabitants. In Gutierrez's Juan Moreira (1879-80), crime replaces geography as a distancing element in the construction of 'otherness' and isolates a traditional individualism pitted against modern impersonality. In spite of the protest element, the implied values are traditional and paternalistic. Zeballos, in Callvucura (1884), buttresses the subject behind a selective avalanche of documentary events, which results in a tightly argued proof of the need for the extermination of the Indians. His next work, the novel Paine (1886), achieves a degree of freedom to approximate the point of view of the 'other.' Consequently, and unlike the case of all the previous texts here considered, the subject is not split between the power of the logos and the powerlessness of the 'other,' but is instead a dialogic construct of whites living among the ranqueles and of Indians whose hardships those whites share. The trip to the 'other,' it seems, can recognize the frontier world only after the singularity of the frontier and its inhabitants has been historically vanquishedacase@tulane.edu

Full textAbstract:
The author of short stories, novels, essays, and journalism, Leopoldo Lugones is best known as Argentina’s most famous modernista writer, with several volumes of influential and highly varied poetry that ultimately led to an exhaustion of modernista verse. His other major contributions to Argentine literature include to the genre of fantastic fiction and his essays on Argentine identity and literary history. In the latter, he located the marginalized figure of the gaucho as a romantic origin for a national culture. Lugones’ legacy has been marked by the increasingly nationalist-fascist bent of his poetry and essays, beginning in the 1920s. However, the legacy of his earlier, audacious poetic experiments on the future poetic movements of the avant-gardes persist.
