Abstract

ROMANO, María Laura. NON-ENLIGHTENMENT NEWSPAPERS. A READING OF THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY RIOPLATENSE JOURNALISM. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.17, pp.12-26. ISSN 2145-8987.  https://doi.org/10.25025/perifrasis20189.17.01.

The bibliography specialized in nineteenth-century rioplatense journalism conceives the press as an unconditional ally of the Enlightenment. In the region, however, a series of publications emerged during the first half of the nineteenth-century, which were constructed at some distance from the enlightened program. The objective of the article is to outline a characterization of this type of newspaper. In order to achieve this goal, I address the following titles published in Buenos Aires: the Despertador Teofilantrópico Misticopolítico, El Torito de los Muchachos and La Bruja o la Ave Nocturna.

Keywords : 19^th century; Enlightenment; Río de la Plata’s journalism; public sphere; satire.
