Through an analysis of the discourse that constructed the urban poor as barbaric (i.e., dangerous, polluting, and foreign), I suggest that this representation not only sought to reinforce the fading social difference between the middle‐ and the lower class, but it also contributed to denying the latter its citizenship in a Buenos Aires that struggled to be modern. |
