Stratégies étatiques de communication. Les ouvrages commémoratifs des premiers centenaires latino-américains
State Strategies of Communication. The Commemorative Works Occasioned by the First Latin-American Centenary Celebrations

Summary/Abstract: The celebrations of the first centenaries of the Independences see here and there in Latin America, between 1910 and 1925, the publication of luxurious books used as national showcases during commemorations. They first aimed at reassuring any potential investor to create or consolidate economic and commercial exchanges considered necessary by the elites for the modernization of the States. But, in doing so, they legitimized the action of their leaders and they also became great prescribers of national identities. Here we aim to compare and present two of these 'monuments on paper', as we have chosen to call them, in order to understand their political use(s) and the issues that they entail.
