Making Citizens in Argentina
Nineteenth-Century Spanish America: A Cultural History
The purpose of this book is to offer a “general synthesis” and “an accessible introduction” to the cultural history of Spanish America in the nineteenth century, in itself an ambitious and challenging goal (pp. 13, 21); yet Christopher Conway succeeds and gives us with concision and clarity a very convincing overview of the subject. In accord with the declared objective of the volume, the author has avoided dwelling on the specific debates that h…
Paula Alonso: Jardines secretos, legitimaciones públicas: El Partido Autonomista Nacional y la política argentina de fines del siglo XIX. Buenos Aires: Edhasa, 2010
This thoroughly researched and carefully argued book is a major contribution to the political history of 19th-century Argentina. In Jardines secretos... Paula Alonso studies the workings of the Partido Autonomista Nacional (PAN), the political party that dominated Argentine politics between 1880 and 1916. Although the PAN has attracted significant attention among historians and social scientists, in this book Alonso takes an approach that allows …
Conjectures on Some Literary Sources of Jorge Luis Borges' ‘Poema conjetural’
This article studies ‘Poema conjetural’, a dramatic monologue by Jorge Luis Borges and his best known poem. In particular, it questions the extent and the form of the influence of the poetry of Robert Browning on this piece. This work proposes that perhaps the dramatic monologues of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, an author who has not been studied in relation to Borges' literature, played a greater role in shaping this poem. The article also proposes th…
Los unitarios: Faccionalismo, prácticas, construcción identitaria y vínculos de una agrupación política decimonónica, 1820-1852
En este libro Ignacio Zubizarreta se propone estudiar a los unitarios, una de las dos agrupaciones políticas (la otra era el federalismo) que fueron protagonistas de la vida pública argentina durante el período de formación nacional. Los unitarios, propone el autor, eran una “facción” (como también lo era el federalismo) y no un “partido” político y, por lo tanto, su estudio, además de llenar un vacío informativo sobre ese grupo, también permite …
Tierra y poder en Salta: El noroeste argentino en vísperas de la Independencia
Tierra y poder is a useful contribution to the history of late colonial Argentina. Sara Mata de López presents, for the first time, a comprehensive picture of Salteña rural society, and thus allows us to know the world of the hacendados and gauchos that later on had a legendary role in the Wars of Independence. The work is based on a thorough research that demonstrates the richness and potential of provincial archives.The book presents a study of…
Massacre in the Pampas, 1872: Britain and Argentina in the Age of Migration
On January 1, 1872, in the village of Tandil in the Argentine pampas, a band of more than 40 gauchos rose to the cry of “kill the gringos and masons!” and went on a killing spree that lasted for only a few hours but left 36 men, women, and children dead, most of them foreigners. The rebels had been incited by a folk doctor, Gerónimo de Solane (a.k.a. Tata Dios—literally, Father God), who in his preaching denounced Freemasons as “irreligious” and …
Facundo and Chacho in Songs and Stories: Oral Culture and the Representations of Caudillos in the Nineteenth-Century Argentine Interior
“There must be some truly great quality in the character of that old gaucho,” Domingo F. Sarmiento admitted in his ambiguous reflections on Chacho Peñaloza, a caudillo whose assassination he allegedly ordered.1 Sarmiento’s commentary in 1866 suggested that there was something unique and mysterious about caudillos because of their sentimental appeal and ability to mobilize gauchos through a personalistic rapport;2 in fact, the unique personality t…
