Contributions on the periodical press of Spanish immigrants in Chile

Abstract

espanolEn comparacion con la region rioplatense y con Cuba, las republicas del Pacifico no se destacaron como destinos preferidos por los emigrantes espanoles durante la epoca de la gran inmigracion (1850 – 1930). El caso particular chileno tampoco mostro volumenes muy importantes con alrededor de veinte mil espanoles hacia 1900. Si bien existen muy buenos trabajos sobre la migracion espanola a Chile, el estudio de su prensa ha quedado relegada. Dentro del conjunto de diarios y periodicos que los inmigrantes emprendieron en ciudades como Santiago y Valparaiso, se analizaran algunas experiencias como el periodico La voz de Espana, dirigido por el escritor Genaro Cavestany y el mensuario Espana y Chile dirigido por Luis Moncayo y Telmo Arena. EnglishIn comparison with the River Plate region and Cuba, the Pacific republics did not stand out as preferred destinations for Spanish emigrants during the time of the great immigration (1850 - 1930). The Chilean particular case also did not show very important volumes with around twenty thousand Spaniards around 1900. Although there are very good works on the Spanish migration to Chile, the study of its press has been relegated. Within the set of newspapers that immigrants undertook in cities such as Santiago and Valparaiso, some experiences will be analyzed, such as the newspaper La voz de Espana, directed by the writer Genaro Cavestany and the monthly magazine Espana y Chile directed by Luis Moncayo and Telmo Arena.
