| Résumé anglais |
The novel La caída del águila (1920), by Costa Rican writer Carlos Gagini, uses science fiction to imagine and resignify the Central American space at a time when the consequences of World War I and the advance of the U.S. presence in Latin America favor anti-imperialist discourses and the advance of a new Hispanism that encourages intellectuals in the region. The present article analyzes the argumentative structure of Gagini's novel, which bases a particular idea of the Central American union as a space of Creole resistance and heir to the Latin race. This space is constructed in a way that excludes any indigenous claims to propose an alternative force for liberation from U.S. domination based on a white race of European ideals and patriotic consciousness.
