Abstract
Este artículo analiza el desplazamiento de una cultura de la publicación basada
en las imprentas a otra que se organizó en torno a las editoriales. La etapa inicial
de tal proceso ocurrió entre 1906 y 1919, cuando el educador y escritor Joaquín
García Monge y los inmigrantes catalanes Ricardo Falcó y Andrés Borrasé,
impulsaron las primeras iniciativas editoriales. Posteriormente, se fundaron las
primeras editoriales públicas y privadas (1920-1949), aunque fue solo en el
período 1950-1979 que la industria editorial se consolidó en estrecha conexión
con la expansión del Estado y, en particular, del sistema educativo. Pese a la
crisis económica de 1980, el auge editorial, en vez de detenerse, se profundizó,
incentivado por el desarrollo de la investigación y de los estudios de posgrado
en las universidades y por la reactivación de la Guerra Fría en América Central.
This article examines the shift from a publishing culture based on print shops to one that was organized around publishing houses. The initial stage of this process occurred between 1906 and 1919, when the educator and writer Joaquín García Monge and the Catalan immigrants Ricardo Falcó and Andrés Borrasé, promoted the first publishing initiatives. Later, the first public and private publishing houses were founded (1920-1949), although it was only in the period 1950-1979 that the publishing industry was consolidated, in close connection with the expansion of the State and, in particular, of the educational system. Despite the economic crisis of 1980, the publishing boom, instead of stopping, deepened, spurred by the development of research and postgraduate studies in universities and by the reactivation of the Cold War in Central America.
