An archival impulse (Foster, 2017) leads us towards Ángel Guido (Rosario, 1896-1960), who devoted his whole life to the cultural nationalism through his architecture, writings, art history, lecturing and university management activities. In this paper, we will examine his final essay (Antelo, 2007) and will refer to the work Redescubrimiento de América en el arte (1940) from the perspective of the counter-archives, i.e., the rewriting and recording of historical narratives to dismantle hierarchies and canons of various hegemonic stories (Cámara, 2022), which opened a discussion about emancipated art and architecture-a concern Guido had had since his youth. The critical exercise herein presented includes inedited texts as well as recovered writings that have not been reedited-the impulse we have followed in a long-lasting breathtaking task to build this archive. This Americanistic Euro Indian archive with which Guido worked is placed in the middle of a still ongoing operation in the arts. Indeed, this does not consist of transcending the traditional problem of the archival collection but of “dislocating” their uses (Antelo, 2014) in order to go beyond a book-centrist approach. Indeed, an archive is never totally completed: its situation will get better and better through the state of archiving (Derrida, 1995), the reason by which Guido’s work, in some way, will not cease to rewrite itself.
