On the one hand, there are scientific studies (or almost scientific) related to this subject, which archetype could be La mala vida en Buenos Aires (1908) from Eusebio Gómez, that contains a great number of racial, social and sexual prejudices. On the other hand, there is a diverse group of marginalized literature, produced on the first 15 years of the 20th century, that account for the modus vivendi in the underworld of Buenos Aires, like the novel La muerte del Pibe Oscar from Luis C. Villamayor (partially published in 1913 and completed in 1926), the “Novísimo diccionario lunfardo” (1913-1915) from the Crítica newspaper, the pamphlets from the Biblioteca Criolla, the cheeky milongas, the brothel poems and some lyrics from the old tango. It is necessary to connect this corpus, dispersed and little known, with the first group of texts in order to obtain a more precise outlook on the subject.  En este trabajo abordaré los dos modos en los que la “mala vida” ha ingresado en la literatura argentina a comienzos del siglo pasado. Por una parte, existen estudios científicos (o pseudocientíficos) acerca de este tema, cuyo arquetipo podría ser La mala vida en Buenos Aires (1908) de Eusebio Gómez, que contienen muchísimos prejuicios raciales, sociales y sexuales. Por otra, hay un conjunto heterogéneo de textos literarios marginalizados, producidos en los primeros 15 años del siglo XX, que dan cuenta del modus vivendi en los bajos fondos de Buenos Aires, como la novela La muerte del Pibe Oscar de Luis C. Villamayor (publicada parcialmente en 1913 y completa en 1926), el “Novísimo diccionario lunfardo” (1913-1915) del diario Crítica, los folletos de la Biblioteca Criolla, las milongas picarescas, los poemas prostibularios y algunas letras del tango primitivo. Es necesario relacionar este corpus, disperso y muy poco conocido, con el primer conjunto de textos para obtener un panorama más preciso sobre el tema.  Neste artigo vou discutir duas maneiras em que a “vida ruim” entrou na literatura Argentina no início do século passado. Por um lado, há estudos científicos (ou pseudo) sobre este assunto, cujo arquétipo poderia ser La mala vida en Buenos Aires (1908) de Eusebio Gómez, que contém muitos preconceitos raciais, sociais e sexuais. Além disso, há um grupo heterogéneo de textos literários marginais produzidos nos primeiros 15 anos do século XX, que representam o modus vivendi nos bairros baixos de Buenos Aires, como o romance La muerte del Pibe Oscar Luis C. Villamayor (parcialmente publicada em 1913 e concluída em 1926), ou “Novísimo diccionario lunfardo” (1913-1915) do jornal Critica, as milongas picarescas, os poemas de bordéis e algumas letras do tango primitivo. É necessário relacionar este corpus, disperso e pouco conhecido, com o primeiro conjunto de textos para obter uma imagem mais precisa do assunto.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/5391 10.34096/zama.a10.n10.5391 spa Instituto de Literatura Hispanoamericana (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires) https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/5391/4830 Zama; Vol. 10 No. 10 (2018); 37-56 Zama; Vol. 10 Núm. 10 (2018); 37-56 Zama; v. 10 n. 10 (2018); 37-56 2422-6017 1851-6866 mala vida literatura argentina literatura marginalizada tango underworld Argentinian literature marginalized literature tango vida ruim literatura argentina literatura marginalizada tango The "underworld" in Buenos Aires.
