| Sumario: | The present paper examines what I call “the war press” in the conjuncture of the final months of the critical year of 1820 in Buenos Aires. After endless factional struggles and the invasion of the coastal army, the election and consolidation of an owner government is defined there. As a hypothesis, it is proposed here that, in that public frame of scarce legitimacy and intense aggressiveness between the opposing sides, two competing political imaginaries are presented, one led by the federal faction of Manuel Dorrego and another of centralist extraction whose visible head is Martín Rodríguez. One of the struggles in which this confrontation takes place is through what I call the “war press”, an intense exchange of opinions between centralist and federal newspapers, marked by the absolute lack of understanding between the parties, the intense aggressiveness and disqualification of the “other”. For this reason, the main centralist newspapers and one of those of federal origin constitute the main documentary basis of this work. |
