¿La Frontera anarquista en la Salta de los años ‘30? Análisis de una publicación singular

This paper offers a first comprehensive approach to La Frontera, a singular commercial weekly, practically unknown until now. The newspaper presents a series of elements that are not common in the known commercial press, associated with left-wing culture –with anarchism in particular–, which enables an approximation to its presence in local society. At the same time, being a publication from the interior of the province of Salta published during the 1930s, it allows us to account for the evolution and influence of libertarian ideas beyond the geographical and temporal limits established in the classic historiography on this movement. The study concludes that the weekly can be considered as an open border through which hegemonic and contesting discourses come and go. Thus, these types of sources are precious for observing how elements belonging to political-cultural universes that are opposed or different from a conceptual point of view are combined in local reality.
