| Summary: | The charro has become a symbol of mexicanness along a parallel road, with several similarities, to which the gaucho galloped in Argentina. In the first decades of the twentieth century there were official claims in both countries. The political interventions on the charro and gaucho figure mobilized manifestations, cultural and social, around these stereotypes. This article proposes a first approximation towards the study of the associations that proliferated in the interwar period and whose objective was to defend the rural tradition as a reservoir of the genuinely national. Besides, we analyze the shared narratives about modernity, urban space, catholic religion and commercial uses. It is our aim to establish lines of investigation so that the charras associations and the creole circles could be analyzed, overcoming the reductionist logics of the national histories. In this case, a corpus of sources composed of statutes, publications, epistolaries, and journalistic chronicles, preserved in the institutional archives of the groups, will be considered from a transnational perspective. |
