Resumen
Abstract
This paper examines the complex relationship between mid- 19th century His-
panic American culture and Europe by looking at one of the salient sentiments
in Domingo F. Sarmiento's Viajes (1845-1847): his antihispanism. Specifically, it
focuses on the sections on France and Spain, where Sarmiento's work signifi-
candy eschews the style of "travel impressions". In those sections, Romantic
orientalism allows Sarmiento to both inscribe the minority status of Río de la
Plata's culture and language politically, and to position himself in the larger
context of European culture. This rhetorical maneuver enables Sarmiento to
revisit and reconfigure notions of local color, exotism and orientalism he had
explored in Facundo (1845).
Keywords: Domingo F. Sarmiento, travel narrative, antihispanism, orientalism,
romanticism, local color.
