| Abstract | From an analysis of four different Argentine intellectual and diplomatic figures of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century -Miguel Cane, Paul Groussac, Eduardo Wilde and Martin Garcia Merouthis article explores a series of different interpretations and worldviews of the dangers and challenges posed to Argentina by the gradual ascent of the United States as a continental hegemonic power, and the responses it aroused. The central purpose of the paper is to highlight the existence of diverse voices, interpretations and multiple discourses regarding this phenomenon, arguing that a sort of kaleidoscopic view of the United States emerged in Argentina. Hence, it seeks to review the assumption according to which Latin American anti-imperialism -and therefore its Argentine version- was dominated by a cultural and idealistic understanding of U.S. materialist culture. In particular, intellectual figures, such as Wilde and more importantly Garcia Merou, are two examples of the emergence of new optimistic interpretations about the ascendancy of the United States, developed in the context of concrete diplomatic experiences in that country and, thus, from inside perspectives. |
