Sostener que el 9 de julio de 1816 se declaró la independencia que terminó de configurar la Nación Argentina inconscientemente implica reproducir una operación cultural que niega los múltiples proyectos de organización que se dieron en el ámbito rioplatense en la segunda década del siglo XIX. Esta percepción excluye a las provincias del Litoral, que por entonces formaban parte de la Liga Federal, por lo que no enviaron diputados a Tucumán. En este ámbito la palabra “independencia” no remitía solamente a la emancipación respecto a España, sino también a la autonomía de las provincias y a su separación de la Intendencia de Buenos Aires, a la que estaban subordinadas hasta entonces. Muchas de estas ideas estuvieron influenciadas por la experiencia revolucionaria paraguaya, a la cual hasta ahora le dio poca importancia la historiografía argentina. Es válido, entonces, hablar de “independencias” para poner en evidencia esta multiplicidad de sentidos posibles.

Autonomy and emancipation: the meanings of independence during the process of emergence of the provinces-state from the Littoral region (1811-1816)
Supporting that on 9th July 1816 independence was declared, meaning that this was the end of the Argentinian Nation’s configuration, unconsciously leads to reproduce a cultural operation which denies multiple organization projects taken place in the Rio de la Plata field during the second decade of the XIX Century. This perception excludes the Littoral provinces, which were part of the “Federal League” by then, and consequently they did not send their representatives to Tucumán. In this sense, “independence” did not mean only the emancipation from Spain, but also the autonomy of provinces and their separation from the Intendancy of Buenos Aires to which they had been subordinated until then. Many of these ideas were influenced by the Paraguayan revolutionary experience, which has not been attached much importance by the Argentinian historiography until now. It is acceptable though, to talk about “independencies” to demonstrate this multiplicity of possible meanings.
