Book Description
In 2001 Argentina faced its most serious economic crisis in years. At this turbulent time in Argentina's history, the question "What is argentinidad?" is more important than ever. The symbols of Argentina's national culture that are now revered came about during another time of economic and political unrest in the second half of the nineteenth century and were captured by writers who understood authorship as a political matter. This book examines Argentine literary narratives from 1850 to 1880, including Amalia (1851) by Jose Marmol, Recuerdos de provincia (1850) by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Una excursion a los indios ranqueles (1870) by Lucio V. Mansilla and Martin Fierro (1872, 1879) by Jose Hernandez, and the changing relationship between ideas of citizenship, the body, and national space. The author argues that in each of the literary narratives she discusses, the ideas embodied by the emblematic citizen are articulated clearly in scenes in which the relationship between the gendered body and concepts of nation-space--the spaces, lands or territories where struggles over national identity are represented--comes into play. The work of Rosa Guerra and Eduarda Mansilla de Garcia, who do not have canonical status but were widely read in their time and dealt with the colonial-era myth of the "first" white women held captive by native Argentines, is also explored.

Book Description
Caught between the Lines examines how the figure of the captive and the notion of borders have been used in Argentine literature and painting to reflect competing notions of national identity from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Challenging the conventional approach to the nineteenth-century trope of "civilization versus barbary," which was intended to criticize the social and ethnic divisions within Argentina in order to create a homogenous society, Carlos Riobó traces the various versions of colonial captivity legends. He argues convincingly that the historical conditions of the colonial period created an ethnic hybridity--a mestizo or culturally mixed identity--that went against the state compulsion for a racially pure identity. This mestizaje was signified not only in Argentina's literature but also in its art, and Riobó thus analyzes colonial paintings as well as texts. Caught between the Lines focuses on borders and mestizaje (both biological and cultural) as they relate to captives: specifically, how captives have been used to create a national image of Argentina that relies on a logic of separation to justify concepts of national purity and to deny transculturation.

Book Description
Esta es la increíble historia de las cautivas correntinas, cinco mujeres de la alta sociedad correntina que en 1865, durante la Guerra de la Triple Alianza, fueron secuestradas por orden directa del mariscal Francisco Solano López, junto con dos de sus hijos. Primero fueron conducidas a los oscuros, fríos y malolientes calabozos del Cabildo y luego al Paraguay, donde vivieron durante cuatro años una terrible odisea, soportando las más duras condiciones. Sólo cuatro de ellas volvieron. A partir de entonces, el imaginario popular no dudó en dar por sentado que habían sido violadas y víctimas de maltratos. La mayoría de los maridos de las prisioneras eran oficiales a cargo de la defensa de Corrientes, todos partidarios del gobernador depuesto Manuel Ignacio Lagraña. Gabriela Saidon indagó en la historia y en el testimonio de sus familiares para contar un drama soslayado y silenciado por el trabajo del tiempo. ¿Por qué las secuestraron? ¿Por qué a ellas? ¿Qué sucedió durante el cautiverio? ¿Por qué una de ellas no volvió? Con notable tensión dramática y despliegue narrativo, Saidon cuenta una historia fascinante que les da voz a las protagonistas y se acerca a un pasado de locura y tortura, a un episodio mayor, cruento y misterioso, que tuvo lugar durante la guerra más voraz de la historia argentina. En abril de 2015 se cumplen 150 años del comienzo de la guerra más cruenta sufrida en América Latina y una de las más dramáticas de todos los tiempos. Durante la presidencia de Mitre, y en conocimiento de la abducción de estas mujeres, poco y nada se hizo para rescatarlas. El relato histórico tampoco las ha tenido en cuenta hasta hoy: es por eso que Cautivas, la bienvenida novela de Gabriela Saidon, vino a llenar ese vacío y se ha convertido en un celebrado libro de texto en escuelas, profesorados y en la Universidad de Corrientes.

Book Description
Argentina is the only country in the Americas that has successfully erased the presence of Indians, Africans, and mestizos from its national story. Official documents, reports, and censuses have largely omitted any references to the country's non-European inhabitants, mirroring official policies that once included the extermination of indigenous peoples and continued to encourage Europeanization well into the twentieth century. In Captive Women, Susana Rotker exposes this concerted act of forgetting by looking at a historical phenomenon that has been expunged from the national record: the widespread kidnapping of white women by Argentine Indians in the nineteenth century. Captivity narratives form a major part of the early colonial literature of the United States, but Argentina has no such tradition. These narratives contradict Argentina's carefully shaped self-image, one historically based on the absence of aboriginal peoples and the impossibility of miscegenation. Captive Women uses close and imaginative readings of military documents, government treaties, travel journals, essays, and memoirs to explore the foundations of Argentina's strategies of silence and its negation of uncomfortable historical realities.

Book Description
Taylor uses performance theory to explore how public spectacle both builds and dismantles a sense of national and gender identity. Here, nation is understood as a product of communal "imaginings" that are rehearsed, written and staged - and spectacle is the desiring machine at work in those imaginings. Taylor argue that the founding scenario of Argentineness stages the struggle for national identity as a battle between men - fought on, over, and through the feminine body of the Motherland. She shows how the military's representations of itself as the model of national authenticity established the parameters of the conflict in the 70s and 80s, feminized the enemy, and positioned the public - limiting its ability to respond.
