| Sumario: | The idea that “extension is an evil that afflicts Argentina” is recognized as Sarmiento's standard thesis on the national territorial question, although in his abundant writings there is a plurality of meanings on the matter. The article investigates the author's complete works with the aim of identifying and analyzing different uses and representations of territorial extension. Including the standard thesis, an interpretive scheme is proposed based on six theses about extension. The research strategy followed basic procedures of qualitative content analysis. It is concluded that extension has been a recurring theme in Sarmiento's vast work, that each thesis is framed in its own discursive configuration, that these theses can be convergent-complementary or divergent-contradictory, that the civilization/barbarism dichotomy is a matrix ideological that orders the content of the theses and that knowing this plurality of meanings is of interest to appreciate the complexities of Sarmientino's ideology. |
