De la literatura fundacional argentina a la escena contemporánea porteña

Abstract

The Argentine 19th century generated various literary and theatrical texts that were considered, with the passage of time and their consolidation in the cultural, social and political field of Argentina, as foundational fictions. These were written by the canonical nineteenth-century authors of the Romantic period of the Río de la Plata: Echeverría, Mármol, Mitre, Sarmiento, Hernández, Gutiérrez, Podestá, among others. More than two centuries after its writing, the contemporary scene of Buenos Aires returns to these textualities in order to propose thematic and procedural detours based on a fundamental strategy: intermediality. In order to account for these resignifications and profanations that the performing arts carry out on the literature of the past, in this article we will concentrate on the analysis of two Argentine plays that take up La cautiva, by Echeverría and Martín Fierro, by Hernández: Las cautivas (2021), by Mariano Tenconi Blanco and Desertoras (2021) by Nicole Kaplan, Violeta Marquis, Camila Tabet and Sol Zaragozi.
