Construyendo identidad: El rol de la revista El Hogar en la constitución de valores nacionales en Argentina durante la Gran Guerra (1915-1918)

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the discourse developed by the magazine El hogar in time of the First World War. The magazine El Hogar was an outstanding element in the novel field of publications of the early twentieth century, because it combined the typical features of an illustrated weekly, with literary, artistic and historical content, designed to build national identity. Therefore, this work aims to explore how the discourses that aim to define and consolidate national identity -in a country composed mostly of immigrants- in the pen of prominent Argentine intellectuals, with the speeches of European intellectuals, are articulated in the magazine. They World War explain war as a derivation of the degradation that migratory processes produce in societies.
