BIBLIOGRAFÍA ARGENTINA DE LITERATURA COMPARADA (BIALICO): UNA INVESTIGACIÓN SOBRE LOS ORÍGENES Y EL DESARROLLO DEL COMPARATISMO ARGENTINO

Abstract

We aim to share some of the results of the Multi-Year Research Project titled "Argentine Bibliography of Comparative Literature (BIALICO)”, funded by the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET), and conducted by the team of Comparative Literature Center (Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, National University of Cuyo). As the first attempt registered in Argentina, this project consists in the preparation of detailed and commented bibliographies of the comparative work achieved in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in our country by writers, critics, theoreticians and historians of the literature. The purpose is the collection and analysis of critical material (essays, prologues, articles, notes, etc.) corresponding to the comparative work published in books and journals by the proposed authors, among which are Esteban Echeverría, Ricardo Rojas, María Teresa Maiorana, María Rosa Lojo, Nicolás Jorge Dornheim, Gloria Galli de Ortega and Arturo Farinelli. The objective of the project is to contribute to the history and legitimacy of comparative literature in Argentina through the preparation of a concrete corpus that will allow proposing and rethinking theoretical and methodological criteria to determine which critics and types of productions integrate the past of the discipline in our country.
