Popis: Travel was a central tool in the development of culture both in Europe and in America in the period that we have proposed to investigate (1916-1931) through the figure of Victoria Ocampo as a pretext since it makes it possible to generate a thread of study and narrative to understand the complexity of cultural travels, its material dimension, its impact on the biography of travelers, on the places visited and on the debates they generated and fostered.For the porpouse of this introductory study, three emblematic examples have been chosen: the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset in Argentina, the Hindu poet Rabindranath Tagore and that of the German thinker, the Count of Keyserling. Ocampo's choice of perspective makes it possible to relate these characters to each other and to the debates of the time in Argentina and Europe. All this allows to account for a little explored field of research in which this article is presented as a work scheme and philosophical analysis for future works.
