Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the gaucho´s literarian representation in two argentinian novels of the Organización Nacional: José J. de Vedia´s Aventuras de un centauro en la América Meridional (1868) and Eduarda Mansilla´s Pablo o la vida en las pampas (1869-70). In the first place, a context of the narrative of the gaucho subject is presented, along with the backgrounds and influences of the chosen romans. In second place, the elaboration of the “gaucho malo” prototype (Sarmiento) in the diegenesis of each work is developed. At last, an analisis of the prosopographies and the etopeyas represents the dynamics of the transformations of marginal individuals into an idealiced cultural model.Downloads
