The journalistic collaboration of Chaves Nogales in exile: variants and a censored case
Abstract
This study examines an unexplored aspect of Chaves Nogales’s career: the existence of variants in his journalistic articles distributed by agencies during his exile (1937–1944). The research is based on a corpus of 67 variants of 19 articles, compiled through a search in various international newspapers, which demonstrates the frequency of this phenomenon. The analysis has two main objectives: first, to define the mechanism behind the production of these variants; second, to examine specific cases in order to explain the alterations made between them. The findings highlight the influence of a specific press service, known as a newspaper syndicate, in the practice of duplication. Additionally, three criteria are proposed to explain the variations: the suppression of content driven by divergent stances (or censorship), shifts in journalistic approaches, and adjustments related to page layout. The study of these variants not only fills a gap in understanding Chaves Nogales’s work during his exile from a historical-biographical perspective but also introduces a new methodological approach to his oeuvre.
