Abstract
El The objective of this test is to characterise the radical speech disseminated in the content of El Cometa, Zacatecos newspaper published in 1832. Based on an analysis of the rhetoric recorded in some of its articles and news, I try to identify the intellectual and ideological influences of publishers, as well as the possible extent to which the dissemination of such a speech could have among the general public. Above all, it is in my interest to place the newspaper and the group publishing it in the context of the political struggle in which the Republic was debated in those years. The hypothesis I use is that this radical rhetoric, the result of the current situations in Mexico and the different intellectual influences received by the writers, was oriented in two ways: one addressed to the political groups, and in particular the one who compressed with the radical Zacatecan political elite sector, and the other to a more popular sector. In the latter case, I propose that that rhetoric could have had an impact on the creation of what Scott calls, a ‘social space for a dissident popular culture’ which made social gains possible at the time.
