| Sumario: | This work presents a methodological reflection on the place of documentary sources from the diplomatic archives of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru in my studies on the relationship between the Latin American national centennials and the cultural construction of international relations. In the first part, I go through the process of elaborating my own research journey based on those sources and present the hypotheses of that work. Secondly, I illustrate with a specific case how diplomatic documents can be used from a cultural history perspective. The examination of a heterogeneous repertoire of symbolic actions in short spans of time allows to make the periodization more complex and to restore meanings overlooked by traditional diplomatic history. Finally, I raise some considerations on the methodological possibilities and limitations I faced in the analysis of diplomatic sources. |
