| Escrito por Solène Bergot | |||
The subject of this article is the creation of a State owned Publishg House under the Chilean Popular Unity (1970-1973), and its main goal which was the democratization of access to written culture. In the first part it refers to the origins of the project, the propositions which preceded and influenced it’s birth. Then it analyses the ambiguities of it’s juridical status, between a private and public enterprise, and the human and technical factors which contributed to it’s development. In the last place it studies the book collections which were proposed to the public and it intends to estimate it’s “success” through an evaluation of it’s sales in relation with the number of book that were published. It is interesting to quote that because of the lack of documents issued directly from the Publishing House, it is difficult to assess the work that was done and it’s real impact on the Chilean readers.
