In Gauchos and Foreigners: Glossing Culture and Identity in the
Argentine Countryside Ariana Huberman discusses the relationship
between the gaucho figure and the "foreigner" in Argentine rural
literature. The narratives of William Henry Hudson, Benito Lynch
and Alberto Gerchunoff present English scientists and travelers, as
well as Jewish and Italian immigrants, in direct contact with the
gaucho in the Argentine and Uruguayan countryside. The book shows
how the intent to define and translate terms from the national
glossary the gaucho, his lifestyle and habitat and from "foreign"
cultures, ultimately questions these terms' capacity to represent a
specific culture. It traces a series of writing practices that
challenge the concepts of "native" and "foreign" as stable
categories of representation by conveying identity and culture
across multiple linguistic, social and cultural registers. The
reading of these unique practices of translation hopes to offer a
fresh approach to the multicultural scope of Argentine literature.
