The ”cream of society“. Building values ??of a bourgeois imaginary in Rosario between 1860-1880
Abstract
We propose to detect the values raised by the fluvial commercial bourgeoisie, with a strong liberal imprint, which was established in the city of Rosario between the years 1860 and 80. These are elements typical of the popularization of political economy, present in philosophy utilitarian, found in so many newspaper writers and publicists with strong impact on common sense.
We work from the sociocultural history that allows us to investigate the society of that time, in its diversity and disputes of meanings in the process of building a thought articulating the interests of the group that was establishing itself as a social and political elite and with it, its worldview as a parameter of social behavior.
The sources worked consistently in literature of the time, newspapers (notes on social life, pamphlets and obituaries), police and judicial files and regulations.
Keywords: Society, culture, bourgeoisie, utilitarianism, hegemony, order.
