Abstract
This article discusses the dissemination of the teachings of the Uruguayan thinker José Enrique Rodó (1871-1917) in Paraguay at the beginning of the twentieth century, a remarkable context for the generation of Paraguayan intellectuals born in the first decade after the War of the Triple Alliance (1864-1870), which sought to construct a narrative of national revaluation. Based on the analysis of the reviews of Rodó’s works published in Paraguay, as well as the tributes offered to him by young Paraguayan academics and the exchange of correspondence with Paraguayan authors, we suppose that it is possible that the echoes of his teachings and lessons resonated in that country and promoted a transnational intellectual dialogue, based on the idea of the Continental Homeland, which Rodó projected to the continent at that time.
