Abstract

CORIA, Marcela. The communication plan of the Comisión Protectora de Bibliotecas Populares (1931-1949): its members as editors. Infor [online]. 2024, vol.29, n.1, e211.  Epub June 01, 2024. ISSN 2301-1378.  https://doi.org/10.35643/info.29.1.11.

In this article we address the implementation of the communication policy of the Popular Libraries Protective Commission between 1933 and 1949, which was established as a core initiative of the period and, at the same time, shaped and complemented the library reading policies of the national institution. Through a diachronic journey we first investigate the initiatives from their origins, with regard to the edition of periodical and monographic publications. Although some of them were distributed discontinuously, based on specific interests that led to their publication and circulation, it seems necessary to investigate the motivations and interests -political, cultural, library- that mediated these titles. In particular, we analyze the Bulletin of the Commission for the Protection of Popular Libraries (1933-1947) and the Magazine of the Commission for the Protection of Popular Libraries (1948-1949), which, due to their quantity, extension and depth, allow us to identify this stage such as that of consolidation of the Protective Commission as a promoter of the manifest discourse on reading in relation to popular libraries. In the study of these specific periodical publications of the period, we especially value the role of the leaders of the Protective Commission as editors and the intellectual links that this communication policy maintained with other related proposals, either due to thematic proximity or the repetition of personalities in editorial committees.
