Abstract
Description
Se examina aquí el desempeño de algunos libros dedicados a la historia nacional en el mercado editorial y entre públicos no especializados, en la Argentina del último siglo.En la perspectiva asumida, esta cuestión no sólo está vinculada a la historia cultural, ni tampoco sólo a la del libro, sino que se relaciona con la historia de la historiografía, ya que la producción de libros que aspiran a circular más allá de los especialistas habla del estado de las instituciones historiográficas, de su relación con el más ancho mundo de la cultura y, finalmente, de sus vínculos con la política. El estudio se concentra en ciertos casos y ciertos momentos significativos, en un período que cubre, aproximadamente, desde 1916 hasta la actualidad.
In this article, the performance of some books about national history in the publishing market and among non-specialized publics in Argentina, during the last century will be examined. In the assumed perspective, this question is not only linked to cultural history, nor only to the history of book, but is related to the history of historiography, since the production of bookswhich aspire to circulate beyond the specialists is a testimony of the state of the historiographical institutions, of their relationship with the wider world of culture and finally, of their links with politics. The study focuses on some cases and some significant moments, in a period that covers, approximately, from 1916 to the present.
