Abstract

ACUNA RODRIGUEZ, Olga Yanet. Independence of the Province of Tunja seen from Juan Nepomuceno Niño and José Joaquín Camacho's Ideology, 1810-1815. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2012, vol.4, n.7, pp.188-217. ISSN 2145-132X.

In this paper, we analyze the influence of political discourses made by Nepomuceno Niño and José Joaquín Camacho that publicly circulated through the national and regional press during the first republican experience from 1810 to 1815. This study focuses on understanding how the region tried to build nation. It is clear that the press closure by the government of Cundinamarca caused ideas to circulate through friends and family circles in a closer environment, which allowed to extend that political thinking. On the other hand, the approach of this paper shows the radicalization of the discourses with which it was expected to build a State project, and which polarized the relationship between nationals in defense of Federalism or Centralism, trying to impose a project of nation as it is observed in the case of the Province of Tunja.

Keywords : political project; homeland; centralism; federalism; province; government.
