Literatura y visualidad: entre el diario La Nación y sus suplementos (1902-1909)

Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between the literary texts and the visuality in the main body of the Argentine newspaper La Nación and its supplements. It seeks to determine whether the placement of images within the main body of the journal or in its literary and illustrated supplements actually impacted the literature featured in La Nación. This analysis takes into consideration that some of its texts were written especially for the newspaper, while other foreign texts were adapted, translated, or published in their original language. This paper is divided into three parts. The first part examines the distribution of literature in the main body of the diary and its literary supplement in 1902 while also regarding its continuity with the previous years of publication. The second part analyzes the changes in the texts’ arrangement after the introduction of literature in the illustrated supplement. Finally, the third part focuses on the interplay between text, image, and visuality in its central body, particularly during the period from 1902 to 1909.
