Abstract

ABSTRACTThis article explores the political press in Buenos Aires during the revolutionary decade of 1810–1820. Using texts from the most important newspapers of the era, it analyzes the evolution of discursive strategies through which vital political issues reached the public. Concepts such as liberty, nation, governance, and sovereignty shifted meanings in the course of an increasingly divisive and violent political arena. The growing tensions between government authorities and journalists resonated with the ambivalence of positions taken on fundamental political rights, including freedom of the press.
