TORRE, Claudia. La espera íntima y estatal, en las obras de los hermanos Eduarda y Lucio Mansilla. Mora (B. Aires) [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.2, pp.41-50. ISSN 1853-001X.

When Roland Barthes in Fragments d’un discourse amoureux, analyzes the figure of the wait, he suggests that this is a tumult of anguish, with an organized and manipulated scenery, a solemnity and a sense of the proportions that are configured in acts. The outcome of this plot becomes abandonment or thanks. In Argentine literature of the nineteenth century, this figure of the discourse of affections can be read at the crossroads of intimacy and social plot. The article refers to two works by the Mansilla brothers: In El médico de San Luis (1860) by Eduarda Mansilla and Una excursión a los indios ranqueles by Lucio V. Mansilla, published ten years later. Both works thematize the passion/subjection of waiting, which is analyzed in both works, based on the idea of a public narration that surrounds and filters on the forms and practices of daily life and family stories.
