Abstract
This article provides an overview of the professional career of the Argen- tine entomologist of German origin Carlos Bruch, with particular emphasis on two moments in his career in which he developed his work with relative independence from any academic institution, resorting to spaces, practices, and strategies that could be considered unconventional. From the analysis of his scientific correspondence and primary sources, it is argued that in the case of entomology in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these divisions did not work in isolation and there was continuous communication and collaboration between them.
