Abstract
El presente ensayo propone que el problema de la Primera Guerra Mundial es central a la metáfora de la "diseminación" en la producción cultural argentina de los años 20. La metáfora es examinada en relación a la modernidad y el espacio urbano, en Babilonia de Armado Discépolo (1925) y la serie de pinturas "Puerto" (1923-1925) de Xul Solar. Mediante una lectura contextualizada de Babilonia, el ensayo analiza las nacionalidades y las lenguas diseminadas en la época en que los inmigrantes europeos de la postguerra presentaban una "amenaza" a la pureza nacional. La metáfora babilónica se asocia con las imágenes de la distracción, diseminación y destrucción. Esto es de particular importancia para el análisis, especialmente con respecto a la presencia de la metáfora babilónica de diseminación junto al criollismo y las emergentes corrientes vanguardistas en Argentina (Duchamp en Buenos Aires, 1918-19, Marinetti en 1926, Borges, Girondo).   Abstract   The present essay proposes that the problem of WWI is central to the "dissemination" trope of the Argentine cultural production in the 1920’s. The trope is examined in relation to modernity and urban space, in Armando Discépolo’s Babilonia (1925) and Xul Solar’s "Puerto" paintings (1923-1925). Through a contextualized reading of Babilonia, the essay analyzes the disseminated nationalities and languages, at a time when post WWI European immigrants presented a "threat" to national purity. Babylonian trope is associated with images of distraction, dissemination, and destruction. This is of particular importance for the analysis, especially with regard to the presence of Babylonian "dissemination" trope alongside criollismo and the emergent avant-garde currents in Argentina (Duchamp in Buenos Aires 1918-19, Marinetti in 1926, Borges, Girondo).
