This essay studies the acting epistemological operations in current Argentinean poetic criticism, taking into account the theoretical-philosophical statement of its speech. For that purpose, it postulates an emerging tradition located in the last decades of the 20th century, from the constitution of a foundational work: the essay performed by Noé Jitrik entitled "Alturas de Machu Picchu. Una marcha piramidal a través de un discurso poético incesante". Afterwards, it was possible to see in two eminent critics of the next generation -Cristina Piña and Daniel Freidemberg- the coexistence of opposite trends regarding aesthetics elections, typical of the poetics of the sixties, and continued to the eighties, but with the common feature of productive processing of modern literary theory.
