| Summary: | This paper intends to explore the orientalist work developed in Argentina by the Turkish diplomatic and immigrant Emir Emin Arslan. Druze-Lebanese origin, this cosmopolitan aristocrat came to have a remarkable gravitation in the cultural Argentina between 1910 and 1940. His voluminous work, dispersed in numerous articles for newspapers and weeklies, in addition to his books, is a hitherto unexplored corpus of vernacular Orientalism. Arslan was in charge of an important cultural weekly, La Nota, between 1915 and 1920, and was also a founder of a bilingual newspaper in arabic and spanish in 1925, Al-Istiklal–La Independencia. This research is a continuation of my work, previously developed in the Oriente al Sur (2007). |
