| Sumario: | The magazine La ilustración infantil (Buenos Aires, 1886-1887) set a turning point for the 19th century Argentinian children’s publications by combining the logic of written culture with that of the visual culture, and by educating children to read images. This initiative represented a detachment from the lettered culture promoted at the time by the school and, therefore, inaugurated a new strategy to appeal to and configure children as a public: the reading of images. In this paper, framed in the glotopolitical perspective, we seek, first of all, to expose the material and structural characteristics of the magazine. Secondly, we will focus on some sections in order to analyze this magazine´s articulation within its historical and political context, and to assess its specific contribution to the series of Argentine children's magazines from the late 19th century. |
