Resumen

La labor periodística de Francisco Castañeda reconoce antecedentes formales tanto con los espectadores de la prensa moral europea, como con ciertas estrategias de la prensa porteña. Sus colaboraciones en los periódicos de Antonio Valdés permiten identificar un proceso de intervención en lo público signado por la sátira y la ficción que se desarrolla de manera progresiva a lo largo de la década de 1810. Su actuación en la prensa alcanza su máxima expresión en el período entre 1820 y 1823, con una producción propia en la que se destaca el lugar central de la ficción como modo de comprender la realidad política, la sátira como herramienta pedagógica y el montaje de fragmentos como método de resignificación crítica tanto de los textos como de la realidad.

Abstract

Abstract

The journalistic work of Francisco Castañeda has formal antecedents both with the Spectators of the European moral press and with certain strategies of the press in Buenos Aires. His contributions to the newspapers of Antonio Valdés allow for identifying a process of public intervention characterized by satire and fiction, which develops progressively throughout the 1810s. His participation in the press of Buenos Aires reaches its peak between 1820 and 1823, with newspapers where the central role of fiction as a means of understanding political reality, satire as a pedagogical tool, and the montage of fragments as a method of critical resignification of both texts and reality are particularly prominent.
