El presente artículo explora un tema que ha llamado la atención de los historiadores, periodistas y bibliógrafos, pero escasamente ha sido motivo de investigaciones sistemáticas: el comercio de libros usados. En particular se enfoca en las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y las primeras del XX, para cuestionar las visiones románticas sobre la materia. De igual modo, a través de este comercio callejero, se estudian los planteamientos y acciones ligadas a la modernización, la higiene y el desarrollo urbano impulsadas por el Estado mexicano. A nivel de fuentes se exploran archivos que no habían sido utilizados con estos objetivos. Finalmente, a través del texto se observa cómo el expendio de libros usados no estuvo aislado de los distintos procesos que afectaban a la ciudad. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/2818 10.34096/ics.i36.2818 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/2818/3309 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 36 (2017): Junio; 43-64 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 36 (2017): Junio; 43-64 1851-1740 1514-8327 Libros viejos Librerías Historia del libro Ciudad de México Secondhand books Bookstores History of Books Mexico City Secondhand Bookstores in Mexico City (1886-1930): Looking for a Place Between Birds, Scrap and Guns El expendio de libros de viejo en la ciudad de México (1886-1930): en busca de un lugar entre pájaros, fierros y armas info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=biblioinfo&d=2818_oai
