A literatura gauchesca em debate: uma análise comparativa das representações do gaúcho na região do Rio da Prata (1845-1872)

Abstract

The dissertation in question aims to present the different forms of representation of the Gaucho in the Argentine literature during the nineteenth century, more specifically, between 1845 and 1872. For this, we intend to use as the works of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Estanislao Del Campo and José Hernández . The national literature, based on the Gaucho figure, would be an important reference for building a sense of belonging and identification between the subject and the nation. In this dissertation will analyze the various representations proposed by these three authors.
