Summary: | There is a critic plurality in the works of Leopoldo Lugones and Jorge Luis Borges, that in one way or another discuss one of the foundational classics of the argentine literary traditions - Jos Hernndezs El Martn Fierro (1872). Utopian intensions and inventions, politics and aesthetics can be hunted by subjective attitudes, sometimes partisan, sometimes fluid - clearly auto(bli)biographic - that are in tension and conflict in the public sphere through a critical-textual embodiment in tales, poems, memoirs, essays, manifestos, polemics, critical texts, interviews, conferences, testimonies and teaching. His works are national canons that read other canons - delineators of identities, of myths and of collective memories. However, do not fail to mark the presence of an imaginary persona, fictional, autobuilder or even self-destructive.
