Abstract
En su poema La cautiva (1837), Esteban Echeverría figuró el territorio denominado “desierto” como una mujer cautiva. Este ensayo explora, por un lado, las diversas tradiciones que confluyeron en la imagen de la cautiva y su potencia alegórica (el mito de Lucía Miranda, Atala de Chateaubriand, entre otras), a la vez que busca recomponer la asimilación entre territorio (desierto) y género (mujer cautiva) en la producción del propio Echeverría. Por otro lado, elabora la hipótesis de que no puede pensarse la caída del poder alegórico de la cautiva sin releer, en el marco de la literatura gauchesca y su peculiaridad, la reelaboración de la figura de la cautiva en La vuelta de Martín Fierro (1879) de José Hernández.
