| Sumario: | In Una Excursión a los Indios Ranqueles, Lucio V. Mansilla deliberately treads into barbarism. Through the epistolary genre –which, paradoxically, is published in La Tribuna–, he allows himself to pause on his trip’s details and particularly in the role of the senses in his writing and in the construction of his experience, which often alludes to touch. In this regard, a tensioned relationship between disgust and the desire to assimilate with the Ranquel people appears by focusing on the effects produced by these sensations, with the clear awareness that there is an other that these sensations express. This work analyzes how, through the meticulous writing of the other bodies, Mansilla tries to control his image and his position of proximity or distance from the Ranquel world, using this as a method to denounce a lack of knowledge from his contemporaries about the Ranquel people. |
