Prensa, literatura y modernidad en la Revista Ahasverus (Buenos Aires, 1854) Masán, Lucas Andrés history literature press Buenos Aires nineteenth century historia literatura prensa periódica Buenos Aires siglo XIX This article analyzes the journal Ahasverus, directed by Camille Duteil and published by the Imprenta de Mayo in Buenos Aires in 1854, in order to account for its editorial particularities during the secessionist period of the State of Buenos Aires. The analysis approaches the publication as an intellectual constellation that reconfigured literary dialogue in the post-Rosas context, a literary-journalistic device that constructed an authorial figure to articulate a poetics of transnational modern knowledge. The main conclusion argues that, despite its brief existence, Ahasverus was not a mere failed project, but rather a distinctive intervention within the porteño cultural field in a context of an expanding readership. Its experimentation, though ephemeral, articulated at an early stage the central tensions of River Plate cultural modernity, defined by the conflict between the appropriation and critique of modern knowledge, making it an indispensable piece for mapping the complex origins of a singular modernizing project in the mid-nineteenth century. En este artículo se analiza la revista Ahasverus, dirigida por Camille Duteil y publicada por la Imprenta de Mayo en Buenos Aires en 1854, para dar cuenta de sus particularidades editoriales durante la etapa secesionista del Estado de Buenos Aires. El análisis aborda la publicación como una constelación intelectual que reconfiguró el diálogo literario en el contexto post-rosista, un dispositivo literario-periodístico que construyó una figura autoral para ensayar una poética del saber moderno transnacional. La principal conclusión sostiene que, pese a su breve existencia, Ahasverus no fue un mero proyecto fallido, sino una intervención distintiva dentro del campo cultural porteño en un contexto de expansión del público lector. Su experimentación, aunque efímera, articuló de modo temprano las tensiones centrales de la modernidad cultural rioplatense definida por el conflicto entre la apropiación y la crítica del saber moderno, lo que la convierte en una pieza indispensable para mapear los complejos orígenes de un proyecto modernizador singular a mediados del siglo XIX.
