Rebelión simbólica, historia y enunciación en las crónicas de Alberto Ghiraldo

Abstract

The critical component of the Spanish American modernism has been characterized in terms of a symbolic rebellion. In the chronicles of the anarchical Argentinean writer, Alberto Ghiraldo (1875-1946) that were produced in the first quarter of the XX century, we analyze some topics where the author attempts to give a militant dimension to his aesthetic discourse. We find certain specificity in his notion of history that tends to dilute in a modality of enunciation which is borrowed from the modern aspirations of reconstituting the authority of the literary discourse.
