RESUMO

Considering a review of the bibliography that approaches the topic about the Argentinean failure, and taking into account the analysis of five intellectuals that had been, in some way, specialists in naming "the country's ills" -Lucas Ayarragaray, Leopoldo Lugones, Benjamín Villafañe, Ezequiel Martínez Estrada and Julio Irazusta- the article explores some commendable answers to the following questions: How to define the concept of failure?; When to date the emergency of this topic in the cultural history of Argentina?; How can we link its emergence with general social and economic processes?; How can we extract the incidents of this idea?; How can we characterize and classify its main expressions?; How can we think about the global meaning of this ideological and political process? The general exposition of the research is focused on showing that the topic of the failure acquired its decisive attributes during the first half of the 20th century, through a complex dynamic, comprised of diverse channels which should be captured in their specificity, although without losing sight of the more general movement of which they form a part: seen globally, this movement contributed to the erosion of an entire ideological-cultural configuration, which I call "argentine illusion". The backdrop of the process was none other than the growing social complexity, the greater and more dissonant discursive diversification (Tulio Halperín) and the profound hegemony crisis which the country experienced throughout the period.
