Descripción
Sumario:Abstract This work turns around some of Esteban Echeverría’s writings, such as La Cautiva (The Captive), El Matadero (The Slaughterhouse) and El Dogma Socialista (The Socialist Dogma), which have been considered as inaugural in relation to the constitution of Argentine literature and thinking in the context of literary theory and the history of ideas. Based upon a review of some of the writings about our author during the XIXth and XXth centuries, Echeverría is portrayed from different perspectives interspersed with arguments about originality, plagiarism and gloss. Concepts, projects, desires and events, such as the desert, freedom, equality, and democracy are found in the configuration of signs that lays out an unfinished writing in which the tension between what is said and what is unsaid is still present.
