Summary: | Along the 19th century, the processes of territorialización -to constitute the territory- and discursive appropriation of the space in Argentina were formed from writing processes and from discursive interactions that instituted performativamente a project of country, a project of State and a project of Nation, defining the body of the mother land and its limits, its territory and its identity, which had to form a part of this body and what not, and its policies of incorporations and exclusions under the idea of what had to be «the Nation». When we relate performatividad and literary practices united two related aspects appear: the role played by the Creole elites in its effort for to articulate national speeches with the intentions for to constitute a cultural imaginary of identity, and the fact that these speeches turn out to be imposed across the relations that are established between the producers power of these speeches and the legitimacy that emerges of the knowledge that the elites were showing thanks to that power. In this frame, the purpose of our work constitutes the analysis of the performatividad that operates in the «original speeches» of the «national literature» in the Argentina of the 19th century. |
