| Sumario: | This article focuses on essays by Ricardo Rojas, written around the 1920s, that postulate the ideal of an Indio-Hispanic cultural amalgam in order to forge a mestizo cultural identity for the continent, or those that emphasize the importance of the indigenous legacy, particularly in the field of art. It also considers some links between the indigenisms of Rojas and Ernesto Quesada (who spread the cultural relativism of Oswald Spengler from the early 1920s). For both authors, the works of the archaeologist Arthur Posnansky in Tiahuanaco constitute a key element for legitimising pre-Columbian art as a source of inspiration in order to create a new American culture. |
