Abstract

JALIF DE BERTRANOU, Clara Alicia. «Nosotros» at the intellectual and political crossroads of the 30's. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.2, pp.73-92. ISSN 1851-9490.

This article analyses the Journal Nosotros (1907-1943) during the 1930's. The main focus of the research is to identify the contributions by national authors that questioned the Argentinean identity. In particular, this study explores the opinions that were published in response to articles from Ortega y Gasset about "el hombre a la defensiva" and "la pampa, promesas"; discussions on the role of intellectuals; inquiries about a supposed "new generation"; the typologies of an imaginary "Argentinean being"; the links between art and politics; and the role of sports. The article also discusses the ideas raised by different surveys launched by the Journal; the suicide of Lugones, and views on the search of the self, in which the protagonists debated the intellectual and political crossroads that were presented by Nosotros.

Keywords : Nosotros; The 30's; The Self; Intellectuals; Politics.
