| Summary: | This article analyzes the discourse of the press in Bogotá during the 1830s. The aim of this discourse was to publicly project the contours of chaos in order to back a new version of the socio-political order. The article focuses on the development and use of the rhetorical apparatus of fear that anteceded and paved the way for the promulgation of a new, bourgeois-liberal inspired legal ideology. It also demonstrates, from this discourse, how the Bogotá elite understood the identity of the city’s popular sectors at the same time that it ratifed its own identity as the dominant group. The literature that frames this study is the social history of the legal world. In the context of New Granada in the frst half of the nineteenth century, this was a world that experienced the initial moments of modernity refected on a discursive plane. |
