Firstly, I will demonstrate that while a conception of integration consistent with melting pot model prevails in The Jewish Gauchos, The Important Man defends the project of a pluricultural nation. Secondly, I will show that such transformation impacts, in turn, on the way of elaborating Gerchunoff´ self-representations as a national author. Finally, the study of these works will allow a reflection on the function of the prologue as a liminal space between the main text and its sociocultural context. Este trabajo aborda los libros de Alberto Gerchunoff Los gauchos judíos (1910) y El hombre importante (1934) con el fin principal de examinar en sus prólogos, y en los vínculos entre estos y los textos prologados, las concepciones que allí se presentan sobre los procesos de integración de los inmigrantes judíos a la Argentina y la construcción de la imagen de escritor de Gerchunoff. Como se demostrará, mientras en Los gauchos judíos prima una concepción de la integración coherente con el modelo del crisol de razas en El hombre importante se defiende el proyecto de una nación pluricultural, y esta transformación se verá reflejada en el modo en que Gerchunoff elabora su imagen de escritor en tanto autor nacional. Asimismo, el estudio de estas obras permitirá una reflexión sobre la función y los rasgos del prólogo como espacio liminar entre el texto prologado y su contexto socio-cultural de producción. Este trabalho analisa os livros Os gaúchos judeus (1910) e O homem importante (1934), de Alberto Gerchunoff, com o objetivo principal de examinar em seus prólogos, assim como nos vínculos entre eles e os textos centrais, as concepções que aí se apresentam sobre os processos de integração de judeus imigrantes na Argentina e a construção da imagem de Gerchunoff como escritor. Como será demonstrado, enquanto em Os gaúchos judeus prevalece uma concepção de integração coerente com o modelo do melting pot, em O homem importante defende-se o projeto de uma nação multicultural, e tal transformação se refletirá, por sua vez, no modo de elaboração de sua imagem de escritor como autor nacional. Da mesma forma, o estudo dessas obras permitirá uma reflexão sobre a função e as características do prólogo como espaço liminar entre o texto do prólogo e seu contexto sociocultural de produção. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/6345 10.34096/zama.a12.n12.6345 spa Instituto de Literatura Hispanoamericana (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires) https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/6345/8374 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/6345/8396 Zama; Vol. 12 No. 12 (2020); 33-46 Zama; Vol. 12 Núm. 12 (2020); 33-46 Zama; v. 12 n. 12 (2020); 33-46 2422-6017 1851-6866 Alberto Gerchunoff Los gauchos judíos El hombre importante Nación From the Baptism by Leguizamón to the Writer as a Shofar: Integration Processes in Gerchunoff Del bautismo de Leguizamón al escritor como un shofar: apuestas integradoras en Gerchunoff Do batismo de Leguizamón ao escritor como um shofar: apostas integrativas em Gerchunoff info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=zama&d=6345_oai
