| Abstract: |
The article explores the construction of national myths in Argentina at the time of the centenary, at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The relationship between culture and institutions is looked at. Public conversation is one of the forms in which a culture creates ways to explain political, demographic, ethnic and social problems. The addresses of Leopoldo Lugones in the Teatro Odeón in 1913 (collected under the title "El Payador" in 1916) and the speech that Joaquín V. González gave in the Teatro Colón in 1911 to mark the hundredth birthday of Sarmiento, are used as points of entry into the article's content. The idea of a heterogeneous society is discussed, as well as gaucho literature. |
