Abstract
Tenciona-se, neste artigo, analisar o universo discursivo produzido sobre o MERCOSUL na terceira época dos Cuadernos de Marcha (CM), publicação político-cultural editada no Uruguai de 1985 a 2001. A análise, entretanto, deverá estar circunscrita, particularmente, ao período que medeia os anos de 1991 e de 1994, quando foram acordados entre os governos do Brasil, da Argentina, do Paraguai e do Uruguai o Tratado de Assunção e o Protocolo de Ouro Preto, respectivamente, assinalando a criação do MERCOSUL e a posterior formalização de sua estrutura institucional. Considerando o imaginário cultural, o conjunto de práticas e o ethos que concorreram no aparecimento e no itinerário dessa publicação, pretende-se investigar, especificamente, o modo como certas tópicas do ensaísmo uruguaio e latino-americano repercutiram na “prosa de ideias” expressa nas páginas dos CM ao longo desse período. Objetiva-se, ainda, identificar em que medida a produção crítica da formação intelectual reunida na última época dos CM foi irrigada pelo sistema conceitual armazenado nos arquivos da “tradição seletiva” dessa publicação. No contexto da saturação da Guerra Fria, do colapso da União Soviética e da emergência das escatologias liberais, com seu milanarismo laico manifesto na radical pregação sobre o “fim da História”, como esse sistema conceitual informou a produção crítica dos CM sobre o surgimento do MERCOSUL, sobre o novo quadro geoestratégico Sul-Americano e sobre a posição do Uruguai e da América Latina na ordem internacional política e econômica que começava a ganhar forma em cima dos escombros do Muro de Berlim?
The general aim of this article is to contribute with the discussion on the significance of MERCOSUR in the third series of Cuadernos de Marcha(CM), a political and cultural publication edited in Uruguay from 1985 to 2001. The analysis, however, should be limited, particularly, to the period that mediates the years 1991 and 1994, when the governments of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay signed the Treaty of Asunción and the Protocol of Ouro Preto, respectively, establishing the creation of MERCOSUR and the subsequent formalization of its institutional structure. Considering the cultural imaginary, the set of practices and the ethosthat have contributed to the appearance and the itinerary of this publication, the article sheds light, specifically, on how certain topics of Uruguayan and Latin American essayism arose in the “prose of ideas” developed by the CM over that period. The specific goal of this article is to identify to what extent the critical production of the CM last series was irrigated by the conceptual system stored in the “selective tradition” archives of this publication. In the context of the Cold War saturation, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of liberal eschatologies, with its respective secular millenarianism manifested in the radical preaching about the “end of History”, how this conceptual system informed the critical production of CM about the emergenceof the MERCOSUR, and how this conceptual system was used to deal with the new South American geostrategic framework and the position of Uruguay and Latin America in the political and economic international order that was beginning to take shape over the rubble of Berlin Wall?
