Sumario:Between the beginning and the end of the Second World War, two European academics set sail from the other side of the Atlantic to Argentina for opposite (political) reasons. Both joined two important universities by the Río de la Plata. The Romanian Demetrio Gazdaru and the Spaniard Clemente Hernando Balmori worked at the National University of La Plata and the University of Buenos Aires, and from these institutions they brought into circulation knowledge and theories that contributed to the creation of a subfield with its own logic. In order to study the participation of both these scholars in this process, we will rely on documents related to their teaching work, letters, scientific publications and other personal and institutional documents dated between 1939, the year Balmori arrived in Argentina, and 1973, when Gazdaru left. Based on a methodology linked to the INTERCO-SSH project led by Gisèle Sapiro and to the work of Analía Gerbaudo (2021; 2022) on the field of literary studies in Argentina, it is expected that this study will contribute to the knowledge of the processes of institutionalization and professionalization of Philology and Linguistics, and will shed light on the influence of two important academics who have been insufficiently studied. Their influence will be assessed in terms of their decisive participation in the creation or direction of specialized institutes and journals, their presence in new academic chairs, their training of human resources, and their participation in various academic circles.
