Abstract
El presente ensayo analiza las obras de Domingo
Faustino Sarmiento,
Recuerdos de provincia
y
Conflicto y armonías de las razas en América,
con el fin de estudiar la evolución de sus ideas.
Cabría decir que los conceptos que toca – barba-
rie y civilización, la raza, la herencia o la nación-
, desde sus primeras obras hasta las postreras, se
irán radicalizando, por influencia, entre otros, del
positivismo cientificista y las ideas de la época.
Así, si en
Facundo
o
Recuerdos
, Sarmiento con-
textualiza la barbarie y la acota a Rosas y sus acó-
litos y cree que el modelo a seguir es Europa, en
Conflicto
, la barbarie se plantea como una cues-
tión racial, pasando a ser el modelo a seguir los
Estados Unidos
By analysing two works by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Recuerdos de provincia and Conflicto y armonías de las razas en América, we trace the evolution of the author’s ideas over his lifetime. Sarmiento explores the same concepts in both his early and his later work – barbarity and civiliza- tion, race, inheritance and nation – but his posi- tion became far more radical under the influence of the scientism and positivism in vogue during the latter years of his life. In Recuerdos, Sarmiento contextualizes barbarity in the form of Rosas and his followers (despite his predetermi- nist conception of barbarity as an endemic evil that is inherent in the Earth) and believes that the model to follow is Europe; but in Conflicto he presents barbarity as a racial question, and the model that he proposes is now the United States.
