This book examines the modes of representation of the East in
Argentinean literature since the country's independence, in works
by canonical authors such as Esteban Echeverria, Juan B. Alberdi,
Domingo F. Sarmiento, Lucio V. Mansilla, Pastor S. Obligado,
Eduardo F. Wilde, Leopoldo Lugones, and Roberto Arlt. The East,
which has always fascinated intellectuals and artists from the
Americas, inspired the creation of imaginary elements for both
aesthetic and political purposes, from the depiction of purportedly
despotic rulers to a genuine admiration for Eastern history and
millennial cultures. These writers appropriated the East either
through their travels or by reading chronicles, integrating along
the way images that would end up being universalized by the
Argentinean dichotomy between civilization and barbarism, all the
while assigning the negative stereotypes of the exotic East to the
Pampa region. With time, the exoticism of the Eastern world would
shed its geopolitical meaning and was ultimately integrated into
the national literature, thus adding new elements into the
Argentinean imaginary.
