Abstract

This essay explores the crossroads between two models of city. First, the Utopian model detailed by Pierre Quiroule in his work La ciudad anarquista americana, and secondly the city of Buenos Aires, which celebrates the Centenary of its Independence in 1910. The fiction of Quiroule, which proposes the foundation of its ideal city over the ruins of the monarchy of El Dorado, represents one of the voices of Argentinian anarchism that rise up against the nationalist discourse supported by the Creole oligarchy in the first decade of the 20th century.
