The general subject to which this article belongs is the biographic genre in Colombia along the late XIX y XX. The following hypothesis underlies this work: with the introduction of knowledges with biological basis, the way in which Man and its history were approached started to change considerably. Given this, the present article aims to explore how this change rebounded in the way biographies were written and understood. From the speech analysis of a particular case of study, we set out that since that period of time, biographies, rather than mere narrative and edifying texts, began to be established in more methodical and “scientific” terms. For developing the former hypothesis, the author worked on a collection of biographies, Colombianos Ilustres, edited by the Academia Nacional de Historia of Colombia and compiled by Rafael María Ortiz in five different volumes from 1916 to 1929. |
