Abstract This article examines a much cited but little understood aspect of the Latin American intellectual and cultural ferment of the 1910s and 1920s: the frequency with which intellectuals from the southeastern Brazilian state of São Paulo referred to developments in post Sáenz Peña Argentina, and to a lesser extent in Uruguay and Chile. In books, pamphlets, speeches, and the pages of a vibrant periodical press—all key sources for this article—São Paulo intellectuals extolled developments in the Southern Cone, holding them out for imitation, especially in their home state. News of such developments reached São Paulo through varied sources, including the writings of foreign travelers, which reached intellectuals and their publics through different means. Turning from circuits and sources to motives and meanings, the Argentine allusion conveyed aspects of how these intellectuals were thinking about their own society. The sense that São Paulo, in particular, might be “ready” for reform tending toward democratization, as had taken place in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, was accompanied by a belief in the difference of their southeastern state from other Brazilian states and its affinities with climactically temperate and racially “white” Spanish America. While these imagined affinities were soon forgotten, that sense of difference—among other legacies of this crucial period—would remain.

阿根廷典故：论二十世纪初圣保罗南锥体的意义

摘要 本文考察了 1910 年代和 1920 年代拉丁美洲知识分子和文化动荡的一个被广泛引用但鲜为人知的方面：巴西东南部圣保罗州的知识分子提到后 Sáenz Peña Argentina 的发展的频率，以及乌拉圭和智利的影响较小。在书籍、小册子、演讲和充满活力的期刊出版社的页面中——这些都是本文的主要来源——圣保罗知识分子赞扬了南锥体的发展，让他们模仿，尤其是在他们的家乡。有关此类发展的消息通过各种渠道传到圣保罗，包括外国旅行者的著作，这些信息通过不同的方式传达给知识分子和他们的公众。从电路和来源转向动机和意义，阿根廷的典故传达了这些知识分子如何看待自己社会的方面。尤其是圣保罗可能已经“准备好”走向民主化的改革，就像在阿根廷、乌拉圭和智利发生的那样，伴随着一种信念，即他们东南部的州与巴西其他州的不同之处，以及巴西其他州的不同之处。与气候温和和种族“白人”的西班牙裔美国人有亲缘关系。虽然这些想象中的亲缘关系很快被遗忘，但这种差异感——在这个关键时期的其他遗产中——仍然存在。伴随着一种信念，即他们东南部的州与巴西其他州的差异及其与气候温和且种族“白人”的西班牙美洲的亲缘关系。虽然这些想象中的亲缘关系很快被遗忘，但这种差异感——在这个关键时期的其他遗产中——仍然存在。伴随着一种信念，即他们东南部的州与巴西其他州的差异及其与气候温和且种族“白人”的西班牙美洲的亲缘关系。虽然这些想象中的亲缘关系很快被遗忘，但这种差异感——在这个关键时期的其他遗产中——仍然存在。
