| description | In March 1903, Rubén Dario writes in Paris a text about postcards for his usual collaboration with Argentinian newspaper La Nación, from Buenos Aires. A few months later, while visiting this city, Lucio V. Mansilla appears photographed in the magazine Caras y Caretas "answering postcards". Both complain about the new practice, described as a snobbish mania, a fashion, and a waste of time; however, they submit to it. Both, travelers and chronicle writers, have a legitimizing signature that gives them celebrity. In what position are they in to follow or condemn fashion? What does it mean to be "fashionable"? Is this pose, or their celebrity, a form of the criticized snobbery too? We propose to think about the contradictory relationship between distinction and popularity, and about both authors as oscillating figures: refractory, but also tempted into forms of snobbery, as a multiplied diversion from dandyism. |
