Abstract
Este artículo analiza la trayectoria pública e intelectual del argentino José Manuel Estrada (1842-1894) como historiador entre las décadas de 1860 y 1870. Para ello repasa en primer lugar las obras que, aunque parcialmente, se han detenido en esta faceta del letrado. Luego examina los principales problemas que guiaron sus indagaciones en el pasado: los legados del período colonial y de la revolución, las relaciones entre caudillos y sociedad, la centralización del poder, el estado de la campaña y las formas de escribir historia. Los aportes historiográficos de este autor son estudiados prestando atención a su contexto de producción, particularmente, los debates públicos en los que buscaba intervenir. Son presentadas, asimismo, algunas evaluaciones de contemporáneos sobre la obra de Estrada y se hace hincapié en las particularidades de este corpus que pueden explicar la falta de atención que suscitó posteriormente, a pesar de haber sido valorado en su tiempo.
This article analyzes the public and intellectual trajectory of Argentine author José Manuel Estrada (1842-1894) as a historian in the decades of the 1860s and 1870s. It first examines the texts that, albeit partially, have looked into this facet of his work. Then, it considers the main problems that guided his inquiries into the past: the legacies of the colonial period and of the revolution, the bonds between caudillos and the society, the centralization of power, the state of the countryside and the ways of writing history. The article also presents the evaluations of some of Estrada’s contemporaries regarding his work, and emphasizes the particularities of his writings that may explain the lack of attention they have received subsequently, despite the fact that they were valued in their time.
