| description | What is the role of external agents and dynamics in the introduction of a political movement in a country like Colombia? Can an intense connection with the outsideworld be read as a sign of the successful modernization of political discourses and practices? This article inquires into the position of workerist and socialist groups in the beginning of the XX century with respect to the outside world, that is, how they deined the Nation to which they aspired, and what place they gave to the universeas larger context. Findings show that in a irst stage, political activists of the working classes maintained scarce relations with Europe and United States, reafirming their search for greater equality as part of the vindication of the Nation. In a further stage, however, socialists rejected the Nation, building their hopes in the direction of a communist universalism, which put them into extended contact with what was considered the matrix for a new humanity, at the cost of alienating the sympathy of the people they intended to represent. |

Este texto indaga acerca de la manera como los grupos obreristas y socialistas de comienzos del siglo XX se situaron ante el mundo, esto es, cómo definieron la patria a la que aspiraban y qué lugar le dieron en el conjunto universal. Se muestra cómo en un primer momento los activistas políticos ligados al mundo popular optaron por una baja intensidad de sus relaciones directas con Europa y Estados Unidos, afirmando su búsqueda de mayor igualdad dentro de una vindicación de la patria nacional. En una etapa posterior, los socialistas rechazarán la nación, ilusionados por un universalismo comunista que los puso en un amplio contacto con lo que llegó a considerarse como la matriz de una nueva humanidad, sólo que al precio de enajenarse la simpatía de quienes pretendían representar. Quel rôle ont joué les agents et les impulsions externes dans l’avènement d’une certaine courant politique en Colombie, ou dans n’importe quelle nation? Uneconnexion intense avec l’étranger est-elle le signe d’une modernisation féconde des discours et des pratiques politiques? Ce texte enquête sur la manière dont lesgroupes ouvriéristes et socialistes du début du XXe siècle se sont situés face au monde: comment ils ont déini la patrie à laquelle ils aspiraient et quelle place ont-ilsaccordé a celle-ci dans l’ensemble universel. L’article veut montrer comment dans un premier temps, par rapport à l’ Europe et les États-Unis, les activistes politiques liés au monde populaire ont choisi un type de relations directes de faible intensité, en afirmant leur quête d’une plus grande égalité à l’intérieur d’une justiication de la patrie nationale. Dans une étape postérieure, les socialistes repousseront la nation, séduits par l’universalisme communiste qui leur a donnés un contact étendu avecce que l’on a considéré comme la source d’une nouvelle humanité. En contrepartie, ils ont perdu la sympathie de ceux qu’ils essayaient de représenter.
