CITY AS IDEOLOGY: THESAURUS OF «GENERARION 1837» POLITICAL DISCOURSE

The article examines the sociocultural phenomenon of the Latin American «lettered city» («la ciudad letrada»), still poorly studied in Russia, by focusing on the Argentine intellectual elite of the mid-19th century, known as «Generation 1837». The political discourse of its most prominent representative, Domingo F. Sarmiento (1811-1888), writer of the romantic school, enlightener and statesman, president of the republic from 1868 to 1874, is investigated using the method of thesaurus analysis. The material of the present study is his essay «Facundo: Civilization and Barbarism» (1845).

The results of the analysis make it possible to redefine the relation between the concepts of «civiliza-tion» and «barbarism» in the cultural code of the Argentines, as well as allow to shed light on other aspects of both civilizational and national identity of the Argentine people, to which a fundamental contribution was made by very famous writers, poets, philosophers, historians and publicists of «Generation 1837».
