Abstract

This research identifies the political discourse on the popular sectors and the proposals of their education in the newspapers La Aurora de Chile, El Monitor Araucano and El Semanario Republicano during the Patria Vieja. It is evident the pedagogical- political use of the press and the pretension to forge the political legitimacy of the new authorities in a context of change and revolution.
