Emociones y sentimientos patrióticos (1767-1828): Esbozo para un estudio de los patriotismos en el Río de la Plata

Abstract

is article, which is part of a broader research, intends to study the patriotic emotions and feelings during the revolutionary cycle by detecting and analyzing the different notions of homeland that coexisted throughout the period. By approaching those notions, it is possible to grasp the feelings and emotions they encompassed as well as to ponder the extent to which they were the driving forces of patriotism. e research relies on a corpus of lyric and dramatic texts both cult and so-called “popular”. e analysis focuses on the plinth of the speech, the kind and tone of the enunciation, and the responsivity of the discourse (Arfuch, 2002).
