Our interest focuses on one of the early short stories of Ramón del Valle-Inclán, “Babel”, published in Galicia in 1888, and other writings on linguistic questions of the most important author of modernism in Hispanic America, Rubén Darío, published in 1894, simultaneously in the two capitals of the Río de la Plata. Drawing on historical glotopolitics, we examine the way in which a conception of language is configured in terms of heterogeneity of voices, materials, and mobility, a conception that we think of as associated with figures such as those of the foreigner, in the case of Valle-Inclán, and of the minority and the migrant, in Rubén Darío. We suggest that they postulate a critical vision of language that disputes monoglosic and normativist conceptions, within the framework of the consolidation of national academies of the language and the incipient institutionalization of philological studies in the Hispanic world. En este trabajo nos centramos en dos textos que leemos como parte de una misma serie: aquella constituida por intervenciones públicas en torno a las lenguas en intelectuales de lengua española a fines del siglo XIX. Concretamente, enfocamos uno de los relatos iniciales de Ramón del Valle-Inclán, “Babel”, publicado en Galicia en 1888, y otros escritos sobre cuestiones lingüísticas del autor más importante del modernismo en la América hispana, Rubén Darío, publicado en 1894, de manera simultánea, en las dos capitales del Río de la Plata. A partir de un análisis que se inscribe en la glotopolítica histórica, indagamos el modo en que en ellos se configura una concepción de lengua en términos de heterogeneidad de voces y materiales y de movilidad, una concepción que pensamos como asociada con figuras como las del extranjero, en el caso de Valle-Inclán, y con las de la minoría y el migrante, en el caso de Rubén Darío. Sostenemos que en ellos se postula una visión crítica de lengua que entra en tensión con las concepciones monoglósicas y normativistas, en el marco de un proceso de consolidación de la red de academias nacionales de la lengua y de la incipiente institucionalización de los estudios filológicos en el mundo hispano.
