| Sumario: | For several years, national parks have been a center of interest in human and social sciences. In the case of Argentina's national parks, numerous scientists have critically discussed the process of their creation, its short- and long-term implications, and more recent policies promoted by this institution. This book adds to this vast bibliography by introducing unexplored edges about the origins of Argentine national parks, especially about their development until the first half of the 20th century. It does so by reformulating the question: what is a national park? A question developed in 1913 by the American geologist Bailey Willis, and replaced by another interested less in seeking universal definitions than in investigating the heterogeneous forms under which different historical actors imagined the parks in Argentina and in the complex ways in which these They operated in every geography of the country.
