Abstract

WASSERMAN, Fabio. "The divine laws of time and space": Historicism, politics and temporality in the speech of the young Alberdi. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.2, pp.1-18. ISSN 1851-9490.

The paper reconstructs and examines the conceptualization of temporality as historical time developed by the young romantics of the Generation of 37 and, at the same time, analyzes how it influenced their interpretation of the socio-political state and their interventions in Rioplatense public life between the late 1830s and early 1840s. The focus is on the work and performance of Juan Bautista Alberdi, given the importance and visibility he achieved in those years and for having been the one who best developed within the romantics this novel conception of historicist time.

Keywords : Juan B. Alberdi; Generation of 37; Historicism; Temporality; Intellectual History.
