Abstract

This paper intends to offer reflections on the commemorations of the two centuries of the constitution of the Nations in Latin America, starting from the landmark of their independences (1808-1810), punctuating this constitutive period of the national histories in the continent and reflecting also on the insertion of the different contingents of people who participated of the fights against the peninsular army. In this way, to consider the event by itself and the reflections about it after two hundred years make one think about how has it been seeing and how is envisaged the autochthon in this process, since those layers so called “los de abajo” were thrown away from history, appearing only in the claims for an idealized identity.

 

KEY-WORDS: commemorations, identity, civic-parties.
