description “Historical revisionism” is currently seen, in the River Plate region, as an intellectual movement which emerged in the thirties to suggest an alternative interpretation of what is called the “academic” or “official” version of the past. This movement establishes strong connections between historical narratives and political positions, and an intense contestation to the political order in power, using non-liberal political traditions. However, wider spatial and temporal perspectives enable to shed light on the revisionist experiences prior to the 1930s. In the first decades of 20th century, in Argentina (especially in local realms), Paraguay and Uruguay some historiographical initiatives -connected by transnational and continental networks- developed. These attempts proposed a past interpretation, away from what they considered to be the hegemonic perspective, crafted in –and for- Buenos Aires, old capital of the River Plate Viceroyalty. Among the most characteristics issues of this counter-history, its origin in geographically “peripheral” places could be mentioned ; the marginal attention that academic historiography have paid to Revisionist main topics (Paraguay War, local caudillos) ; its close link with the so called “national question” at a time when identity discourses were strongly demanded ; and the multiple ideological positions of the revisionist authors, although many of them tended to display or assume rightist ideas.
