Abstract
Este artículo se propone trazar un mapa de la crónica latinoamericana moderna e iluminar una serie de hitos artísticos y culturales que signaron su historia. Con el objetivo de identificar y periodizar los intereses hegemónicos de los escritores en relación con el campo cultural y las lecturas teóricas generales del arte y la literatura. Estos análisis permitieron identificar el auge del divismo modernista caracterizado, entre otras cuestiones, por la reivindicación de la aristocracia del arte; la celebridad basada en una retórica de la fama; y en oposición a éstos la emergencia de la plebeyez que ubica en el centro de la representación a personajes populares. La originalidad de este trabajo reside en la lectura del campo de la crónica cuya tradición de estudios en general ha avanzado por autores apreciados individualmente. De igual importancia en cuanto a su originalidad es el haber identificado los tópicos descritos, desconsiderados por el campo de la crítica.
Abstract: This article aims to draw a map of the modern Latin American chronicle and illuminate a series of artistic and cultural milestones that marked its history. With the aim of identifying and periodizing the hegemonic interests of writers in relation to the cultural field and the general theoretical readings of art and literature. These analyzes allowed us to identify the rise of the modernist divism characterized, among other issues, by the claim of the aristocracy of art; the celebrity based on a rhetoric of fame; and in opposition to these the emergence of the plebeyez that locates popular characters in the center of the representation. The originality of this work lies in the reading of the field of the chronicle whose tradition of studies in general has advanced by authors appreciated individually. Of equal importance in the originality of this paper is the identification of the topics described, disregarded by the field of criticism.
