Abstract
This article analyzes Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen´s and Vicente Fidel López’ respective theories on the origins of the Tupi and Peruvian Indians. In particular, it puts forward that the historicist approach of the authors’ theories can be attributed to the linguistic contributions of orientalism. The principal aim of this work is to shed light on the connections, in both authors’ works, between indigenism, linguistics, historiography and political plans for Argentina and Brazil.Downloads
