Although the contemporary fantastic short story in Argentina and Uruguay is widely recognized and studied, its origins during the nineteenth century are generally unknown. This study proposes to (1) identify examples of the nineteenth century fantastic, (2) place the works in the context of literary history, and (3) study their narrative conventions and topics. A reading of the nineteenth century fantastic reveals that there is a conventional narrative cluster consisting of three elements: personalized, first-person narrator; frame discourse; and suspended narration. Although there are some variations on this pattern, these conventions generally hold true throughout the nineteenth century. The narrative elements are examined from two perspectives: their contrast with the dominant conventions of realism, and their function within the fantastic. The stories are divided into four categories based on their topic. The first category is the dream fantastic, in which a dream provides self-knowledge or salvation. The second grouping is the fantastic of madness; in these stories, madness can be a divine gift or a destructive force. The third section is the scientific fantastic, in which the scientism of the 1800's is questioned. The final division is the folkloric fantastic, which deals with the supernatural. This study concludes by pointing out that the conventions of the nineteenth century do not continue into the twentieth. The generation of the 20's and 30's formed new concepts of the realistic and the fantastic. Therefore, they altered the previous narrative pattern and abandoned scientism as a literary topic. This study includes stories by these authors: Carlos O. Bunge, Miguel Cané, Macedonio Fernández, Martín García Mérou, Juana Manuela Gorriti, Carlos Guido y Spano, Julio Herrera y Reissig, Eduardo L. Holmberg, William Henry Hudson, Leopoldo Lugones, Carlos Monsalve, Carlos Olivera, Horacio Quiroga, and Eduardo Wilde.

Notre thèse de doctorat porte sur la crise de Semana Santa, un soulèvement militaire qui a provoqué l’une des plus grandes mobilisations populaires du XXème siècle argentin, entre le 16 et le 19 avril 1987. Elle s’introduit dans les histoires respectives du système judiciaire, de l’Armée, des partis politiques, des médias et du Mouvement des Droits de l’Homme afin de rendre compte de la complexité de l’événement. Elle démontre comment la mobilisation populaire est le résultat d’un changement culturel, qui implique tous les acteurs susnommés, initié avec le nouveau régime démocratique fondé en 1983. Notre thèse cherche aussi des méthodes pour replacer le peuple, comme acteur politique, dans l’historiographie actuelle. Pour cela elle s’inscrit dans l’historiographie de la mémoire, à laquelle elle apporte le concept de « mémoire active » qui permet de dépasser l’approche commémorative du phénomène mémoriel. / The subject of our doctoral thesis is the crisis of « Semana Santa », a military rebellion that triggered one of the most massive popular uprisings of the Argentinian Twentieth Century, April 16th and April 19th, 1987. This crisis penetrates the respective histories of the judicial system, the Army, the political parties, the media, the Human Rights Movement, in order to account for the complexity of the event. The thesis demonstrates how the popular mobilization was the result of a cultural transformation that involved all the actors mentioned, and that was pioneered under the new democratic regime founded in 1983. Our thesis is a methodological attempt to restore, in current historiography, the people as a political actor. For that purpose it is connected with the historiography of memory, to which it contributes the concept of “active memory” that allows to surpass the commemorative approach of the memorial phenomenon.

Este trabalho versa sobre o pensamento geopolítico argentino entre 1910 e 1945. Neste país, a Geopolítica se desenvolveu dentro de uma estrutura plurinucleada marcada pelo dissenso quanto ao que se entendia ser os objetivos nacionais. Apresenta-se, aqui, um exercício comparativo das ideias do vice-almirante Segundo Rosa Storni (1876-1954) e do embaixador, filiado à União Cívica Radical, Horacio Carrillo (1887- 1955). A partir da leitura da literatura geopolítica desses autores representativos, se objetivou avaliar qual das concepções analisadas encontrou condições de desenvolvimento dentro do cenário em questão. A proposição que defendemos como tese é que, apesar de ser mais citado nos manuais como o principal geopolítico argentino, as ideias insulares de Storni foram superadas pelas ideias continentais de Carrillo. O projeto storniano de uma sociedade marítima não frutificou por conta da insuficiência econômica e territorial do país, dos objetivos continentais de sua política externa e da melhor aceitação das ideias continentais enquanto concepção de mundo. Com esses resultados, nós esperamos lançar luz sobre a gênese da geopolítica argentina, que é estudada amiúde em um estágio de evolução mais elevado, que é o segundo pós guerra. Usando o pensamento geopolítico brasileiro como base de comparação, nós apresentamos conclusões importantes para a compreensão do pensamento geopolítico brasileiro do mesmo período. Neste particular, verifica-se a correlação direta das ideias de Horacio Carrillo com a cosmovisão de Mário Travassos (1891-1973). Isso se dá pelo significado estratégico atribuído, pelos dois autores, à integração física e à visão comum das cidades estratégicas do interior do continente. / This work is about the Argentine geopolitical thought between 1910 and 1945. In this country, Geopolitics has been developed into a polynuclear structure characterized by the disagreement with respect to what was understood as national objectives. We present an exercise of comparison between the ideas from the vice-admiral Segundo Rosa Storni (1876-1954) and the ambassador, filliated to the Radical Civic Union, Horacio Carrillo (1887-1955). From readings of geopolitical works from both representative authors, we aim to evaluate which conception has found conditions of developing in that scenario. Our proposition is that, despite of being more cited in manuals such as the main Argentine geopolitical, the insular ideas of Storni were overcame by the Carrillos continental ideas. Stornis project of a marine society has not fruited due to the economic and territorial scarcity of the country, the continental goals of his foreign policy and the better acceptance of the continental ideas as conception of world. With this result, we expect to shed light on the genesis of the Argentine geopolitics, which is often studied in a more elevated stage, the second post-war. Using the Brazilian geopolitical thought as basis of comparison, we present important conclusions for the understanding of the Brazilian geopolitical thought the same time. In this respect, we verified that there is a direct correlation between the ideas from Horacio Carrillo and the cosmovision from Mário Travassos (1891-1973). This point of view can be explained by the fact that both authors gave strategic significance to physical integration and the common vision of strategic cities in the countryside.

Argentine literature at the close of the twentieth century is characterized by a marked interest in the themes of dictatorship, marginality, and exile. Given the shifting of public and private spaces in the country's recent history, a "sinister" space has appeared in the collective subconscious, where all that was negated, prohibited and repressed is now (re)surfacing with tremendous energy in a constant probing into the collective memory effectuated from still present traumas without closure. / The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the "social tics" which flourish in various art forms, as well as in the underpinnings of Argentine society, and come from the fact that collective suffering has created a defined present which controls the past, and, inevitably, influences the future. In turn, certain themes thus emerge from subjective and fragmented spaces of enunciation where memory plays a crucial role. / In order to do this, I concentrate here on alternative cultural productions to the official propaganda produced during and after the period of dictatorship, paying special attention to women's narratives and testimonies or memoirs of repression. Finally, I undertake an analysis of certain selected cinematographic productions which, like the contemporary literature analysed here, also form part of the movement that demonstrates the need to question Argentine reality---present and past---by foregrounding collective and individual memory in opposition to the generalized trend of amnesia/anaesthesia to point up the very real danger inherent in such "historic amnesia." Taken together, these works reveal the existence of a past that must be recaptured and redeemed, but which, given the existence of the negated and silenced "sinister" space in contemporary reality, forms only a small part of Argentine history still under construction.

O protagonista e o enredo do conto são relacionados na obra cinematográfica em várias cenas. Isso permite estabelecer uma comparação entre as relações sociais retratadas nas duas obras, de modo realista no filme, e de forma alegórica no conto. A proposta deste trabalho é analisar como as duas obras artísticas dialogam / Abstract: The film Un Oso Rojo, directed by Israel Adrián Caetano, mentions the fable "Las medias de los flamencos", written by Horacio Quiroga, which integrates the juvenil colection "Cuentos de los flamencos", in its script. The main character of the film and the story of the fable are connected in several scenes of the movie. This allows a comparison between the social relationships portrayed in the two works, realistically in the film and allegorically in the fable.

The doctoral thesis The Argentine Army as an Economic Factor focuses on civil-military relations that are key to understanding the history, the development of modern society, and even the reality of current Argentina. The main myth that characterizes Argentine history is that the interruption of the development of the democratic processes is due to military interventions. Both in Argentine society and in the international sphere, there is a purely negative opinion about the Argentine military, in particular related to the shock caused by the last military dictatorship. This sentiment still permeates the cultural and moral face of society. This paper offers another vision of the Argentine military and tries to contribute to overcome an overly simplified perception and the prejudice that derives from it. The first part of the paper examines the emergence of military power and the characteristics of the political system in the first half of the 20th century. This section points out the causes for which the Army overstepped its specific functions and entered into the political life of Argentina. The second part is devoted to the Argentine economic system and its characteristics, from its insertion in the global market and its development through the economic policies of various governments.

Le présent mémoire propose d'étudier l'apport des déterminants de l'aide au développement à travers le comportement du Groupe de la Banque mondiale face à des récipiendaires en pleine crise économique. Nous proposons des critères de mesures originaux dans la mesure où l'analyse de cette étude se fait à contre-courant des travaux habituels. Il ne s'agit plus d'évaluer l'impact ou l'efficacité du Groupe, mais de faire ressortir les paramètres qui influencent ses directives et de vérifier si le Groupe s'adapte effectivement aux variations de ces paramètres. L'étude porte conjointement sur deux études de cas, l'Argentine et l'Uruguay, de 1990 à 2005. Nous offrons tout d'abord, une revue de la littérature en économie du développement avant d'analyser les choix de projets du Groupe avant, pendant et après les crises économiques de 1998 et de 2002. Par la suite, un bilan rétrospectif nous permet d'avoir une vue d'ensemble de la conjoncture des crises dans les deux pays et de l'investissement du Groupe en terme de programmes, de temps et de déboursés. Nous accordons particulièrement de l'importance au parallèle entre les deux cas étudiés afin de comprendre comment et pourquoi le Groupe se déploie plus dans un pays que dans un autre.
