| Sumario: | The aim of this article is to reconstruct representations and emotions that took place in August 11th 1905 in the city of Buenos Aires, when anarchist typographer Salvador Planas tried to kill Manuel Quintana, President of Argentina. Until then, anarchists attempts where perceived as a disturbing, fascinating but completely unrelated to local reality. That’s why, form a very first moment, Planas’ attempt generated numerous discourses that intended to explain what happened. Based on the collection and analysis of daily and illustrated press, criminology essays, penal cases, anarchists and socialists press, this article tries to find out what kind of knowledge and images about anarchism and anarchists spread around the city of Buenos Aires. The article tries to prove that, unlike what is commonly stated, those images and knowledge were not homogeneous. |
