Joan Mañé: la nació i l'Estat des de la premsa

The biography becomes an indispensable element in order to understand a time, a society and a way of being. That of Joan Mañé i Flaquer helps us to find these elements in the relationship and the position taken by Catalonia in liberal Spain. But it is also a new reading of the media as an element of ideological diffusion of the first order and how it came to transform itself into a capitalist style business, at a time when political debate was starting to spread from the previously limited circles of a small minority.
