| Sumario: | In this paper we will deal with the issue of the hero raised by Tulio Halperín Donghi in El Enigma Belgrano, to reformulate and answer it, not through Belgrano’s biography, but through the process that led to the creation of his exemplary figure. We will analyze the funerary rites, the initial instance where the different ways of representation of the hero were materialized. We will then examine the patriotic poetry that allowed for those representations to be transmitted from generation to generation. Finally, we will reconstruct the process through which Belgrano’s biography became part of a national narrative that was consolidated with the inauguration of his monument in 1873 when his figure will be linked almost exclusively to the creation of the national flag. |
