Teniendo en cuenta la grave crisis política, económica y social que persiste en gran parte de los países de Latinoamérica, la discusión acerca de qué proyecto de Nación queremos continúa vigente y debería seguir discutiéndose. El artículo se propone contribuir a profundizar y enriquecer esta discusión a partir de una recuperación y abordaje crítico del debate iniciado por un grupo de intelectuales argentinos entre la perspectiva del “patriotismo republicano” y los defensores del “nacionalismo sano”. Según se sostiene, ambos enfoques no son necesariamente incompatibles, pudiendo complementarse entre sí a partir de un orden prioritario.

Abstract: YHWH’s theophany and mode of action are frequently evoked in the Bible as a volcanic event. It is shown here that this representation, of central importance in the story of the Sinai Covenant, is probably not anchored in any specific volcanic eruption experienced by the Israelites in the past. In Antiquity, volcanic activity was specifically associated with the gods who patronized metallurgy, given the homology between lava flowing from a volcano and slag released from a furnace at smelting. Evidence towards such a link is also identified in the Bible. Accordingly, rather than being simply a literary artifice imaging the outstanding powers of YHWH, volcanism may reflect the existence of metallurgical roots in Israelite theology. This contention is supported by Biblical evidences associating YHWH with metal production: (i) his primeval dominion in mining areas, (ii) his special worship by metalworkers, (iii) the representation of his celestial universe as a giant furnace. It is concluded that the volcanic representation of YHWH’s theophany and mode of action reveal a surprising level of preservation of the metallurgic religious traditions in the ancient Israelite theology.
