Una crónica sobre maltrato infantil, comunidad y prensa en la norpatagonia rural de los años veinte De Marco, Celeste Minority Childhood Press Rural North Patagonia. Minoridad Niñez Prensa Rural Norpatagonia. Between 1927-1928, Carmen de Patagones (Province of Buenos Aires) was shocked by the appearance of a 14-year-old farmhand who horrified the town to its very core with his sordid story of abuse and captivity. By examining this particular case, this study aims to reveal some of the (mis)adventures of rural childhood in Argentina’s Northern Patagonia. Using a microanalytical approach centered on content analysis, this paper reconstructs the events and arguments attributed to the protagonists and their actions by the local press, which transformed plot twists into an extraordinary news article, in order to reveal that, in addition to presenting common social discourses about “minority” and child abandonment, the case also sheds light on the conditions and scarcities of rural childhoods marked by orphanhood, neglect and obscurity. Entre 1927-1928 la localidad de Carmen de Patagones (Buenos Aires) se vio conmovida por la aparición de un joven peón de 14 años que llegó al mero corazón de la comunidad con un sórdido relato de maltratos y cautiverio. El propósito de este estudio es desvelar, a través de lo peculiar del caso, algunas de las (des)venturas de la niñez en el campo norpatagónico argentino. A partir de un enfoque microanalítico basado en el análisis de contenido se reconstruyen detalles con foco en los eventos y argumentos puestos en juego a través de la prensa local sobre protagonistas y sus actuaciones, con vuelcos argumentales convertidos en una nota destacada. Se descubre que el caso porta discursos sociales reiterados en torno de la minoridad y el abandono infantil, pero también alumbra condiciones y carencias compartidas en torno de niñeces vividas en el campo atravesadas por la orfandad, numerosos descuidos y no pocas opacidades.
