| Sumario: | The project of shaping a national tradition in Latin America is closely linked to geoculture, a notion that proposes space and culture as indissoluble concepts. Literature has an essential role in the geocultural process since writers linked to nationalism seek to contribute with their work to conform a tradition in their homeland. In Argentina, the novel Adán Buenosayres (1948) by Leopoldo Marechal (1900-1970) responds to this intention and achieves it due to its subsequent projection in current authors of his country, such as Alejandro Dolina (Buenos Aires, 1944). The production of both has sought to achieve a mythification of Buenos Aires, a space where legendary characters and fantastic elements are combined with situations typical of the idiosyncrasies of Buenos Aires. The present study analyzes the correspondences between their works from discursive strategies used for such purpose and the function they acquire in their corresponding cultural field. |
