Resumen

Descripción

Partiendo de la constatación de que la Argentina era, a principios del siglo XX, uno de los países con mayor tráfico de cartas y telegramas del mundo, este trabajo examina el régimen postal y telegráfico que hizo esto posible, entre la década de 1870 y la Primera Guerra Mundial. Argumenta que la combinación de distancia geográfica y voluntad de conexión con los polos informativos del hemisferio norte dictaron políticas de conectividad de gran ambición, sostenidas en el largo plazo por las elites dirigentes. Dicho argumento se desarrolla en etapas que van echando luz sobre aspectos específicos de este proceso, como la construcción de un espacio de circulación regional sudamericano, y la integración de la Argentina a los territorios coordinados por la Unión Postal Universal y la Unión Telegráfica Universal.
Drawing from statistical evidence pointing to Argentina as one of the greatest consumers of postal and telegraphic traffic in the early XXth century, this article explores the system that made this intense connection with the outside world possible. Focusing on the decades between 1870 and World War I, it argues that the combination of geographic distance and political will to connect with the information poles in the northern hemisphere dictated highly ambitious policies that were sustained in the long term by the leading elites. This argument unfolds in phases, shedding light on specific dimensions of this process, such as the construction of a regional space of postal circulation in South America, as well as the integration of Argentina in the unified postal territories coordinated by the Universal Postal Union and the International Telegraphic Union.
