From then on, the authorities hypothesized on the educational model that would best promote the development and advancement of the Republic. In that context, in Valparaiso there was a clash between different models of modernity, disputing the legitimacy of the nascent public sphere. On one side, Freemasonry, spearheaded a challenging secular educational project by founding the school, "Blas Cuevas".

Desde aquí, las autoridades problematizaban acerca del mejor modelo educativo para el desarrollo de la República y la consecución del progreso. En este contexto, se produjo en Valparaíso, un enfrentamiento entre dos modelos de modernidad, que por ese entonces disputaban su legitimidad en la naciente esfera pública. Por una parte, la Masonería impulsó un desafiante proyecto educativo laico al fundar la escuela “Blas Cuevas”. La iglesia y sus defensores por su parte, en defensa de un proyecto más tradicionalista, se opusieron fervientemente a la iniciativa calificándola de “atea” e iniciando una ofensiva comunicacional en su contra. Nuestro trabajo busca analizar el debate entre ambos actores, dando cuenta de sus argumentos, estrategias y legitimación como actor dentro de la esfera pública.Editorial de la Sede del Pacífico de la Universidad de Costa Rica2018-05-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticleArtículoartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rehmlac/article/view/3283910.15517/rehmlac.v10i1.32839REHMLAC +, Journal of Historical Studies of Latin American and Caribbean Freemasonry plus; Vol. 10 No. 1 (2018): Vol. 10, no. 1, mayo-noviembre 2018; 72-88REHMLAC+, Revista de Estudios Históricos de la Masonería Latinoamericana y Caribeña plus; Vol. 10 Núm. 1 (2018): Vol. 10, no. 1, mayo-noviembre 2018; 72-882215-60971659-422310.15517/rehmlac.v10i1reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rehmlac/article/view/32839/33057Derechos de autor 2009 REHMLAC+acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-08-31T17:29:19Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/32839Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:45:38.741Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
