Abstract
ABSTRACT IN SPANISH: Se propone leer esta obra fundacional de la era posnacional de Bolivia, del escritor chaqueño Jesús Urzagasti, como un relato sobre la melancolía versus la modernidad extranjerizante. Tirinea es el territorio del Chaco llevado hasta sus confines simbólicos por la imaginación revolucionaria. En ese espacio residual de la derrota bélica frente a Paraguay, Urzagasti escribe una historia luminosa y da vida a una subjetividad moderna distinta, capaz de reformular los términos culturales para fortalecer una utopía latinoamericana. // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: Tirinea (1969): A Homeland for Bolivian Modernity proposes a reading of this foundational work of the Bolivian post-national phase, written by the `chaqueño' writer Jesús Urzagasti, as an account of melancholia versus alienating modernity. Tirinea is, in fact, the land of 'el Chaco' taken to its symbolic limits by a revolutionary imagination. In the residual space of military defeat against Paraguay, Urzagasti writes an illuminating national history and gives life to a different modern subjectivity capable of reformulating old cultural terms in order to consolidate a new Latin American utopia.
