Abstract

The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the newspaper Correo de la Exposición


(1875), that emerged as a complement of the International Exhibition of Chile in 1875


(Exhibición Internacional de Chile), was an “aesthetic apparatus” (Déotte). The novelty


of this work lies in the discovery of the scientific and artistic discourse that deepened the


advances obtained in both subjects around 1875. The conclusions of the study indicate that


the newspaper Correo de la Exposición imposed its own exhibited rules and mechanisms


of appearance in the fine arts, becoming a relevant newspaper for the analysis of Chilean


history and artistic critique.
