Summary
The task of reconstructing or synthesizing events in the Chilean literary market in the nineteenth century is undoubtedly challenging since there are multiple potential approaches. I have chosen to face the challenge by taking as a common thread the cultural press of the 1800s, which, given its material and discursive dynamism, allows us to account for the technical, aesthetic, institutional, political, and educational aspects that made possible the emergence of a specific “literary field”1 endowed with a series of “institutionalizing instances”2 that ensured its visibility and separation from other social practices.
