I10-R307-article-232242021-06-01T21:55:02Z Ricardo Rojas: An Argentine Modernity Ricardo Rojas: Una modernidad argentina Martínez Gramuglia, Pablo identidad nacional historiografía historia cultural argentina Centenario de la Revolución de Mayo national identity historiography Argentine cultural history Centennial of the Emancipation In this essay, we analyze a key literary historiographic work, "La literature argentina", by Ricardo Rojas, from the perspective of intellectual history. In it, we seek to determine the ideological coordinates in which Rojas inscribes his effort to study a national literary system while virtually creating it. Based on the general directions of his thought (nationalism, evolutionism, positivism, romantic historicism, liberalism), we focus particularly on his idea of modernity as the object of our study. This idea of modernity refers to a particular period of Argentine history as well as to the autonomization of different discursive spheres, among which literature is only one of them. In this sense of autonomization, modernity has been a part of Argentine culture since its very beginningg. On the other hand, Argentine culture is understood by Rojas as an amalgamation of different contributions -American indian, original settlers (criollos), immigrants-, whose providential nature is yet to be determined. Modernity thus, is but a prior state in the evolution towards it. En él, se busca determinar las coordenadas ideológicas en las que Rojas inscribe su trabajo para analizar un sistema literario nacional al mismo tiempo que prácticamente lo está creando al estudiarlo. Sobre la base de las líneas generales conductoras de su pensamiento (nacionalismo, evolucionismo, positivismo, historicismo romántico, liberalismo), se toma como objeto de estudio particular la idea de modernidad presente en este libro. Esa idea de modernidad, si bien coincide con un período particular de la historia argentina, también está identificada con una autonomización de diversas esferas discursivas, de las cuales la literatura no es más que una de ellas. En este sentido de "autonomización", la modernidad ha sido parte de la cultura argentina desde su origen. Por otro lado, la cultura argentina es entendida por Rojas como un amalgama futuro de diversos aportes (indígenas, criollos, inmigrantes), cuyo carácter providencial la ubica en un futuro deseado, para el cual la modernidad constituye la etapa previa.
