La forja de una opinión pública : Leer y escribir en Buenos Aires, 1800-1810

Abstract

The American events of the early nineteenth century, in addition to their strictly political and administrative aspects, also involved the installation of nascent modes of expression and meaning of the public word and writing. Those that developed in this sense in Buenos Aires at that time represent what, nuances more nuances less, also happened in the other urban centers of the region, rushing towards a wide panorama of changes in the forms and functions of discourse in its different arrays.
