Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the cultural models in two Gaucho novels: Jose J. de Vedia’s Aventuras de un centauro en la America Meridional (1868), and Eduarda Mansilla’s Pablo, o la vida en las pampas (1869). Both novels propose a gaucho’s ethopoeia. This was later developed by others writers, who also established new generic conventions for sentimental novels. The Gaucho´s lack of culture about religion, education and citizenship entail new cultural paradigms (Lotman). These are linked to political discourses, the press and literature, and also turn the national romance into a means of complaint, a discourse more rooted onto a realistic aesthetics than onto a romantic one.
