Resumen
Durante casi tres décadas, el banquero, periodista—y ocasional poeta—Michel Chiha (1891-1951) construyó, a través de las páginas del diario Le Jour, una visión posibilista de la nacionalidad libanesa que tuvo un peso decisivo tanto en la formación del Pacto Nacional como en lograr la independencia. Sin embargo, y a pesar del papel fundamental que su pensamiento jugó en la construcción de la ‘fórmula libanesa’, no ha gozado éste del favor de la academia. Mediante el análisis de la producción editorial de Chiha, este artículo subrayará la influencia que la filosofía cosmopolita de este autor tuvo en la definición de las autopercepciones identitarias de los libaneses, llegando a definir sus prácticas constitucionales hasta el día de hoy.
