A subnational and peripheral view of the 2001 crisis. Local representations and interpretations of the situation in Jujuy from the newspaper El Pregón

Abstract

The article analyzes the representa- tions and interpretations of the news- paper El Pregón de Jujuy in the context of the crisis of 2001. This line proposes two central contributions to the topic. First of all, to deepen the knowledge of the representations about the crisis of 2001 from a subnational and peri- pheral perspective within our coun- try, as is the case of the newspaper El Pregón de Jujuy. In this regard, the social sciences have produced a vast production around 2001 but more fo- cused on the events that took place in the Federal Capital and province of Buenos Aires, and also around the representations of the various politi- cal actors in these geographical areas. The second contribution is to the un- derstanding and analysis of the inter- pretations that a local medium made of the 2001 days, taking as its starting point that the media are political ac- tors that seek to influence the repre- sentations of society as a whole.
