摘要：This article analyses the constitution of the intellectual field and modern art in Buenos Aires, in the 1920s, when the city went through an intense process of modernization and became a cosmopolitan center. The formation of the modern art field is processed as opposed to state institutions and conservative intellectuals and artists who maintained national symbolic representations limited to rural areas and in support of the oligarchic state. This paper focuses on the “force field”, its fragmentation, the strategies used by writers and artists, and the debates raised by aesthetic modernity as well as the flagship cultural productions permeated by national traditions, modern poetry and social art.
