Sumario:There is a certain consensus among Argentine contemporary historiansabout the existence of a gradual process of transformation of politicallanguages in the riverplate ́s 19th century. The thesis is that the politicalelites that survived the rosista order justified and contributed to the transferof a social republican moment (1820-1852) to a liberal nationalist one(1852-1880). In this paper we suggest the existence of an intermediatepolitical moment to those two most distal, which we will call Mitre moment(1852-1874). The incorporation of this moment allows our understanding toproperly capture the gradualness and particularity of that political process ofsemantic transformation. In this general context, our specific objectives arethree. In the first place, we will proceed to reconstruct the conceptualdisplacements existing in the second half of the 19th century in threeespecially relevant words: republic, federation and nation, as a politicalcontext of enunciation and justification of the liberal nationalist mitristaorder. Secondly, we will explain the beginning, development andparadoxical decline of that intermediate political moment, stopping us in itsrhetorical contributions to the nationalist liberal turn enunciated. In the thirdplace, we will offer arguments in defense of the hypothesis according towhich the liberal nationalist rhetorical apparatus mitrista allows todemonstrate certain peculiarities and aporias of the riverplate nationalistliberalism of the second half of the 19th century.
