La revista Sherlock Holmes y la configuración del lector de policial. (Spanish)

Sherlock Holmes magazine and the setup of police story readership. (English)

Sherlock Holmes, a weekly magazine which was published between 1911 and 1913, was the first publication edited in Buenos Aires that was devoted exclusively to chronicles and police stories. Ĺis feature makes it prime material to study how the field of gender is shaped at the beginning of the 20th century. In this article, we intend to analyze how the journal contributed to the process of formation of a readership fond of crime fiction. In this sense, we consider that, through different strategies, Sherlock Holmes built a model reader who promoted such readings upon the perceptual matrix of classic crime fiction.

La revista Sherlock Holmes, semanario que se editó entre 1911 y 1913, fue la primera publicación, editada en Buenos Aires, dedicada exclusivamente a la crónica y el relato policial. Este rasgo la convierte en un material privilegiado para estudiar cómo se conforma el campo del género a comienzos del siglo XX. En este artículo, nos proponemos analizar de qué manera la revista contribuyó al proceso de conformación de un público lector aficionado a las ficciones criminales. En este sentido, consideramos que Sherlock Holmes construyó, a partir del despliegue de una serie de estrategias, un lector modelo que, basado en la matriz perceptiva del policial clásico, promovió sus modos de leer.
