Centenary Subjects examines the ideological debates and didactic
exercises in subject formation during the centenary era of
independence (the decade of the 1910s)-the peak of arielismo-and
proposes a new reading of the arielista archive that brings into
focus the racial anxieties, epistemological and spiritual fissures,
and iconoclastic agendas that structure, and at times smother, the
ethos of that era. Arielismo takes its name from JosE Enrique
RodO's foundational essay, "Ariel" (1900), a wide-ranging gospel
dedicated to Latin American youth that incited a cultural awakening
under the banner of the spirit throughout the Americas at an
ominous juncture-when the US co-opted the Cuban War of Independence
in 1898, effectively rebranding it as the Spanish-American War.
RodO's optimistic message of transcendence as an antidote to the
encroaching empire quickly became one of the most pervasive and
malleable paradigms of regional empowerment, reverberating
throughout a range of Latin Americanist projects in the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries. Centenary Subjects recovers a series of
important but understudied essays penned by arielista writers,
radicals, pedagogues, prophets, and politicians of diverse stripes
in the early twentieth century, and analyzes how, under the
auspices of the arielista platform, young people emerged as
historical subjects invested with unprecedented cultural capital,
increasing political power, and an urgent mandate to break with the
past and transform the sociopolitical and cultural landscape of
their countries. But their respective designs harbor racial,
epistemological, aesthetic, and anarchistic strains that bring into
sharper relief the conflicting signals that the centenary subject
had to parse with respect to race, reason, and rupture.
