This articleanalyzes the obstacles that hinder the reconstruction of the processes ofinstitutionalization and internationalization of literary studies in Argentinawithin the framework of the project International Cooperation in theSocial-Sciences and Humanities: Comparative Socio-Historical Perspectives andFuture Possibilities, directed by Gisèle Sapiro. These obstacles werenegotiated partly through the creation of two categories: ?stories? and ?fantasiesof nano-intervention.? The article introduces these categories, along with someexamples that enable reflection on the factors that impede or condition theinternational circulation of literary theory.
