Abstract

El artículo estudia el pensamiento tecnológico de las clases industriales españolas durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Se presta especial atención a la conceptualización y representación de la tecnología y la retórica empleada por aquellos que formaban parte del espacio de producción y de las redes de circulación de conocimiento tecnológico. En las décadas centrales del siglo XIX se empieza a generalizar entre estas clases un discurso apologético de la mecanización, el progreso industrial y la propiedad del invento. Este discurso se impregnaba de una retórica nacionalista que se veía estimulada por la creciente globalización económica, con sus consiguientes líderes y seguidores, y la competencia tecnológica escenificada en colosales exposiciones industriales. En concreto, se analiza el contenido de una publicación de carácter técnico, "La Gaceta Industrial", y el discurso, tanto explícito como implícito, de la documentación técnica y administrativa de los privilegios reales y de las patentes de invención solicitadas en España.
