ESPANA PAREDES, Romina Abigail. Discursive Heterogeneity in the Travel Books of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento and Justo Sierra O’Reilly. Latinoamérica [online]. 2019, n.68, pp.37-68. ISSN 2448-6914.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cialc.24486914e.2019.68.57068.

This article analyses the discursive heterogeneity that characterizes the travel books of two Latin American writers of the nineteenth century, the Argentinian Domingo Faustino Sarmiento and the Mexican Justo Sierra O’Reilly. The author looks into the complex context of the production of their books and analyze in each case the different discourses: essay, narrative and historical. From this study it is concluded that the discursive heterogeneity is an appropriation of the travel genre in response to their contexts and political ideals.
