Abstract

ROSETTI, Mariana. Between patriots and stowaways literate controversies about americans in the periodical press (1810-1812). Estud. hist. novohisp [online]. 2020, n.63, pp.103-128.  Epub Jan 21, 2021. ISSN 2448-6922.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24486922e.2020.63.70428.

During the years 1810-1812, the press proposals used the concept of Americanity as a malleable matter from which to point out injustices and arbitrariness. For this, public writings used perspectives in which allies and enemies were obtained and satirical humor was used to arouse the reader’s affinity. The flexibility of the American name was used as a metaphor for the weakness of political autonomy of the different provinces of the American continent. We are interested in analyzing some productions of Juan López Cancelada in this regard that generated vehement responses from the deputy of Tlaxcala in the Cortes of Cádiz, José Miguel Guridi Alcocer, and by Servando Teresa de Mier. These three thinkers used the periodical press to specify or propose political solutions that the constitutional debates erred in contemplating or deepening, and they did so by using the terms of patriots and stowaways.

Keywords : Americans; polemics of the men of letters; periodical press; Juan López Cancelada; José Miguel Guridi Alcocer; Servando Teresa de Mier.
