VARELA YEPES, Jorge Andrés. In search of a Spanish American intellectual community: circulation of ideas, Spanish American authors and liberalism in Colombia, 1848-1890. Co-herencia [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.31, pp.259-289. ISSN 1794-5887.  https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.16.31.8.

This paper examines the mechanisms of circulation of Spanish American intellectuals in Colombia during the second half of the nineteenth century. This period witnessed a modernization of press and the book market in the region, which broadened the scope of action of intellectuals. These processes generated connections between the thinkers and a truly continental debate developed, especially on liberalism. In particular, Colombian liberalism engaged in a heated debate with Chilean liberalism. As a result of these exchanges, a Spanish American intellectual community was consolidated.
