          Abstract

          Resumen El uruguayo Pedro Figari (1861-1938), destacado pintor, fue además un pensador original. Fue autor de una novela utópico-satírica, Historia kiria (1930), obra publicada en París, donde residió entre 1925 y 1934. Poco conocida y poco leída, Figari presentó en ella a los kirios, una civilización arcaica imaginaria cuyas viejas y buenas “virtudes esenciales” transformó en patrón universal de la sensatez y el sentido común: un patrón desde el que juzgó los acontecimientos del mundo que lo rodeaba, y a sus protagonistas. Apenas publicada adoptó el punto de vista kirio para formular comentarios y reflexiones de actualidad, algo de lo que queda abundante testimonio en su correspondencia del período. Puesto que no resulta inmediatamente obvio, tiene sentido preguntarse qué era para Figari ser un kirio. O, mejor, qué es “lo kirio” como concepto, qué lo distingue, qué lo caracteriza. En este trabajo intento ofrecer una respuesta a esta pregunta.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract The Uruguayan Pedro Figari (1861-1938), a prominent painter, was also an original thinker. He was the author of a utopian/satirical novel, Historia kiria (1930), a work published in Paris, where he lived between 1925 and 1934. Not widely known and barely read, Figari presented in that novel the kirios, an imaginary archaic civilization whose old and good “essential virtues” he transformed into a universal standard of reasonableness and common sense: a standard from which he judged the events of the world around him, and its protagonists. As soon as the novel was published, Figari adopted the kirio point of view to formulate actuality comments and reflections, something of which there is abundant testimony in his correspondence from the period. Since it is not immediately obvious, it makes sense to ask what it was like for Figari to be a kirio. Or, better, what kirio is as a concept: what distinguishes it, what characterizes it. In this work, I try to offer an answer to this question.
