La vida letrada porteña entre 1860 y el fin-de-siglo. Coordenadas para un mapa de la elite intelectual

Abstract

This article shows some dimensions of the intellectual world which emerged towards 1860 in the city of Buenos Aires. It sketches a panorama -no exhaustive but significant- of this scene through the introduction of the characteristics and the dynamics of the educative compasses, the intellectual sociabilities, the more relevant publications, and the profiles of the intellectual figures, in a field timed by the multiplication of cultural spaces. So on, this article doesn't aspire to trace the precise and fixed outlines of an intelectual elite, nor show a complete inventory of the cultural life in these decades. Instead, the paper sketches some coordinates of a map that framed a significant part of what it may be consider the intellectual constellation who displayed its activities between 1860 and the end of the XIX century.
