The work of Luis Alen Lascano (1930-2010), devoted to the study of the past Santiagueño has become a central figure for the historiography provincial, regional and national levels. The work of Luis Alen Lascano ( descendant of San Ignacio de Loyola ), devoted to the study of the past santiagueño, has become a central figure for the historiography provincial, regional and national levels. This feature is unusual in an era when increasing disciplinary specialization noticed. Alen Lascano deployed to work in a time frame, which includes virtually the entire historical experience of the province. .
In the preface to his book History of Santiago del Estero, the most important, no doubt of his extensive historiography, argued:
.
"We've always wanted to contribute to the understanding of men, circumstances, foundations and achievements that took as its epicenter in the city of Santiago del Estero, the first political entity, institutional, religious, cultural and Argentina had the current" Y precisely, this sentence sums up largely theoretical perspective developed over half a century.
.
His concern for diving in the provincial origins of the story has to do with his conception of the province within the national context. Alen designed the past santiagueño Lascano, almost like an epic in which it was necessary to rescue from oblivion the "heroes" who carried it out.
.
The historian Lascano Alen force was inexhaustible and can be explained by the quality and quantity of their contributions to the study of provincial history (more than twenty books and hundreds of prologues and pamphlets). His works serve the purpose not only to explore the structure and pace of the founding story, but individually, in various stages of it, a model that offers an alternative interpretation today.
.
The merit of the work Alen is to offer an overview santiagueño particular, against a patchwork of 'republic', now the nation and then to state, provincial particularities that singled. Historiographical work of the self, which left much of his life in witness to the history of Santiago del Estero, which took over the profession of historian from a very young and did not leave until the end of his days, is an example of perseverance, dedication and critical. His departure leaves a void difficult.
