These works continue the social realism with indigenists traits present in Mario Bravo’s novel En el surco (1928). But if the first two authors are well known, the third one has been almost forgotten in the regional and national literary history; for this reason, the purpose of this article is to highlight Don Silenio, analyzing some issues: its impact when it was just published, the narrativization of the main character -an indigenous peon at a ranch located in Zarate, near San Pedro de Colalao, in Tucuman-, the plot of social relations, the contrast between the fiction and the historical moment in which it was inspired, and the tension between the provincial identity and porteño cosmopolitanism.   1936 es un año singular para la historia cultural de Tucumán porque se graban las primeras piezas de Atahualpa Yupanqui y se publican las novelas Hasta aquí nomás, de Pablo Rojas Paz, y Don Silenio, de Alberto Córdoba. Estas obras continúan el realismo social con rasgos indigenistas de la novela En el surco (1928), de Mario Bravo. Pero si bien los primeros autores han logrado amplio reconocimiento, el tercero ha quedado relegado de la historia literaria regional y nacional, por lo que este artículo busca rescatar de ese olvido a Don Silenio. Para eso se analizará el eco que tuvo al ser publicada, la construcción del protagonista -un peón indígena de una estancia en Zárate, cerca de San Pedro de Colalao, en Tucumán-, la trama de relaciones sociales, el contraste entre la ficción y el momento histórico que la inspira y la tensión entre la identidad provinciana y el cosmopolitismo porteño.   ISHiR/CONICET 2021-12-20 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf text/html application/zip https://web3.rosario-conicet.gov.ar/ojs/index.php/revistaISHIR/article/view/1551 10.35305/eishir.v11i31.1551 Estudios del ISHiR; Vol. 11 Núm. 31 (2021): Estudios del ISHIR Estudios del ISHiR; Vol. 11 No. 31 (2021): Estudios del ISHIR 2250-4397 spa https://web3.rosario-conicet.gov.ar/ojs/index.php/revistaISHIR/article/view/1551/2176 https://web3.rosario-conicet.gov.ar/ojs/index.php/revistaISHIR/article/view/1551/2177 https://web3.rosario-conicet.gov.ar/ojs/index.php/revistaISHIR/article/view/1551/2178 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0
