Description
Summary:In Una excursión a los indios ranqueles (1870), there is a passage in which Lucio Mansilla creates a mythical story in order to justify before the ranquel chief the right of the whites over the land. The interpretative mold Mansilla uses to define cultural identities will be revisited in the literary discourse. In this paper we will analyze two contemporary Argentine novels –El oscuro (1968) of Daniel Moyano and Más liviano que el aire (2009) of Federico Jeanmaire- which recreate the clashes of their respective contexts ofproduction in the light of the antinomies plotted during the 19th century and dismantle the mechanisms through which the elites built an image of the Argentine society as a white and European community.Key words: Narrative, Identity, Tradition, Colonialism, Violence.
