Abstract

ABSTRACT This timely article analyses the creation of a divided society in Venezuela. Since before the birth of the Republic in 1831, elite politicians and intellectuals have tried to foment the imposition of a society in their own (European, white, elite) image through the cultural promotion of privileged immigrants. Unlike other countries in the region, the mass European immigration only happened in the 1950s, during the government of Marcos Pérez Jiménez, a hundred years later than elsewhere. However, by lauding immigration and denigrating the local mixed race population, influenced by the example of Argentina a hundred years before and a continuation of nineteenth-century Positivism, they set the stage for the divisiveness which predates the election of President Hugo Chávez in 1998. This article traces this cultural construction through interviews with now-deceased politicians with responsibility for immigration programmes and analysis of the works of pro-immigration intellectuals.
委内瑞拉特权移民文化的建构
这篇及时的文章分析了委内瑞拉分裂社会的形成。自1831年共和国诞生之前,精英政治家和知识分子一直试图通过对享有特权的移民的文化推广,煽动强加给他们自己(欧洲、白人、精英)形象的社会。与该地区其他国家不同的是,大规模的欧洲移民只发生在20世纪50年代,在马科斯·潘扎雷兹·吉米内斯执政期间,比其他地方晚了100年。然而,由于受到一百年前阿根廷的榜样和19世纪实证主义的延续的影响,他们赞扬移民和诋毁当地的混合种族人口,从而为1998年雨果总统Chávez当选之前的分裂埋下了祸根。本文通过对负责移民项目的已故政治家的采访,以及对亲移民知识分子作品的分析,追溯了这种文化建构。
