The postulated hypothesis is that the economicsbooks enjoyed of more freedom in the Buenos Aires late colonial period, propitiatingthe diffusion of the new ideas of the so-called “Christian Enlightenment». It wasin this context, characterized by the active presence of the clergy and the officialsof the viceregal administration, (i.e., the members of the two Powers: the Crownand the Church), and an increasingly influential mercantile sector, which constitutedthe readers of economic works. On the other hand, the analysis of the librariesinventories shows how frequently the Spanish and Italian authors appeared, throughtranslations, adaptations or copies like other European economists’ middlemen. El artículo intenta una primera mirada al mundo de las lecturas económicasen Buenos Aires en los últimos años del período colonial: qué autorescirculaban con mayor profusión, cuáles obras se privilegiaban en las bibliotecasprivadas y qué público lector se interesaba en ellas, a partir de los inventarios debibliotecas privadas e, indirectamente, del registro de donaciones de libros a laBiblioteca Pública en los primeros años independientes. Se postula como hipótesisla mayor libertad de que habrían gozado los libros de economía en el BuenosAires finicolonial, para propiciar la difusión de las nuevas ideas que surgíande la mano de la llamada “Ilustración cristiana”. En este contexto, caracterizadopor la activa presencia del clero y de los funcionarios de la administraciónvirreinal (es decir, los miembros de los dos poderes, Corona e Iglesia) y unsector mercantil cada vez más influyente, se constituyó el público lector de lasobras de economía. Por otra parte, el análisis de los inventarios de bibliotecasmuestra la frecuencia con que aparecen los autores españoles e italianos queactuaron, ya sea por medio de la traducción, la adaptación o la copia, comointermediarios de otros economistas europeos. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/897 10.34096/ics.i13.897 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/897/874 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 13 (2005); 29-56 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 13 (2005); 29-56 1851-1740 1514-8327 Historia del libro Lecturas económicas Buenos Aires Ilustración Período Hispánico History of books Economic readings Buenos Aires Enlightenment Colonial period Readers and economic readings in Buenos Aires at the end of the colonial period Lectores y lecturas económicas en Buenos Aires a fines de la época colonial info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=biblioinfo&d=897_oai |
