The war against Paraguay (1864-1870) had long-lasting effects on the geopolitics of the countries of the River Plate basin. The polysemy employed to refer to the war (War of the Triple Alliance, War against Paraguay, Great War, Guerra Guasú) is a reflection of the lack of hermeneutic consensus between investigators and the political and ideological harassments that solicits these names. Current paper brings to the fore the Uruguayan historiography on the conflict which includes a brief account of reports written between 1870 and the 1970s and a critical-analytic assessment of the most recent bibliography on the subject.

Foregrounded on the conflict theory of Lewis Coser, current paper discusses the construction of these two subjects that heralded the social and religious projects of the republican period.

Current paper analyzes the life and works of the cultural agent Cornélio Pires whose activities involved the conservation of the caipira culture, disseminating it through publications, recordings, sound tracks, spectacles (scenes, music, guitar and musical groups) and propagating it on the radio. Contrastingly to the intense transformations in São Paulo, representations of plantations and life in the hinterland were emerging. They are actually different scenes in which the people of the Brazilian interior are sometimes praised and at other times criticized. Within this context, the life, works and artistic productions of Cornélia Pires are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
