Resumen
Descripción
Este trabajo aborda un conjunto de textos del escritor argentino José Rivera Indarte (1814-1845) con el objetivo de explorar las siniestras representaciones de Juan Manuel de Rosas y su administración, y de indagar enun tópico recurrente en la obra del autor: la privación de sepultura y el ultrajepost mortemcomo prácticas habituales del gobierno federal para con los adversarios políticos ejecutados. Rivera Indarte, en sus años de antirrosistamilitante, elabora dos concepciones enfrentadas de estos restos insepultos. Desde su perspectiva, si en manos de los federales los despojos del enemigo se convierten en objetos en cuya vejación el poder se deleita bestialmente, para los opositores de Rosas estos mismos restos representan la huella sublime de los mártires caídos y la vigencia de la lucha contra el terror en defensa de los principios políticos liberales. El cuerpo insepulto (o sus partes) como significante en disputa, su dualidad simbólica, constituye un elemento central de la construcción político-retórica del letrado cordobés, en procura de acentuar la neta línea divisoria entre el rosismo y el antirrosismo en tanto ámbitosirreductibles, irreconciliables, de la barbarie y la civilización, respectivamente.
This article analyses a set of texts of the Argentine writer José Rivera Indarte(1814-1845) with the objective of exploring the sinister representations of Juan Manuel de Rosas and his administration, and enquiring on a recurrent topic in the author's work: the burial deprivation and the post mortemoutrage of executed political adversaries as normal practices of the federal government. Rivera Indarte, a furious militant against Rosas, builds two opposite conceptions of these unburied remains. If, as the author suggests,the spoils of the enemy are objects in whose vexation the federal government beastly delights, for the opponents of Rosas, these remains are the sublime mark of the fallen martyrs,representing the validity of fight against terror in defense of the liberal political principles. The unburied body (or its parts) as a disputed signifier, his symbolic duality, is a decisive element of the political-rhetoric construction of Rivera, aimed to emphasize the sharp line between Rosas enemies and Rosas followers as irreconcilable spheres, which are associated, respectively, with civilization and barbarity.
