RAZA, ESCRITURA Y PRENSA: EL CASO DEL PERIÓDICO O MESTRE BARBEIRO (PORTO ALEGRE, 1835).

RACE, WRITING AND PRESS: THE CASE OF THE NEWSPAPER O MESTRE BARBEIRO (PORTO ALEGRE, 1835).

The article addresses an anti-liberal newspaper, O Mestre Barbeiro, published in Porto Alegre in 1835 during the months prior to the outbreak of the Revolução Farroupilha. The proposal is to analyze two aspects: on the one hand, the farcical delegation of the writing in the figure of a barber and the pertinence of the identity traits of that figure --it is deduced that the mestre barbeiro was black-- in a context in which the access to citizenship of the subaltern sectors was being questioned (including the slaves and ex-slaves). On the other hand, the mechanisms used to (de)compose the discourse of the imaginary writer, located in the ideological antipodes of the true author of the journal, through a cumulative series of cuts and additions that resulted in a distortion of his senses.

El artículo aborda un periódico antiliberal titulado O Mestre Barbeiro, que fue publicado en Porto Alegre en 1835 durante los meses previos al desencadenamiento de la Revolução Farroupilha. La propuesta es analizar dos aspectos: por un lado, la delegación ficticia y farsesca de la escritura en un barbero liberal y la pertinencia de los trazos identitarios de esa figura --se deduce que el mestre barbeiro era negro-- en un contexto en el que se debatía el acceso a la ciudadanía de los sectores subalternos (incluidos los esclavos y los ex-esclavos). Por otro lado, indagaremos los mecanismos empleados para (des)componer el discurso del imaginario redactor, ubicado en las antípodas ideológicas del verdadero autor de la gaceta, a través de una serie acumulativa de cortes y agregados que redundaban en una tergiversación del ideario del liberalismo.
