Abstract

On May 19, 1864, the com-pany of José García Delgado interpret-ted the work Atar-Gull or An African Revenge written by Lucio V. Mansilla in 1855. The literary criticism has paid little attention on it. When it has been readean it has been thought of as an an-tecedent in the emergence of the nationnal theater (cf Rodriguez, Seibel) or the figure of the slave has been emphasized to think the piece in rela-tion to the work of Eugene Sue (of which Mansilla takes the character) and to read a critique to the English imperialism (Gasquet). The present approach aims to analyze the piece carefully and for this purpose proposes to focus on the relationship of black-ness with servitude. Without subtracting centrality to the first aspect but adding the contributions involved in account-ting for the different emphases, we propose to analyze the description and modes of appearance of blackness in Atar-Gull de Mansilla in the context of other representations of Afro-Argen-tineanity in Argentine literature, parti-cularly of its relationship with the power of Rosas.
