- Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the role played by the publishing field, the editors and the authors of instant-books books in the treatment of the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires (RMBA) railways system as a public problem. In first place, the paper exposes a theoretical conceptualization about the public problems and the role of the media system and the publishing market in the production and reproduction of those type of problems. In second place, the work analyzes the status of the publishing industry nowadays, focusing on the behavior of non-fiction political books, specifically those that treated corruption as a central issue. Finally, we analyze two books about the railway system situation. Based on a series of quantitative data (register of policy books published between 2003 and 2015) and qualitative data (interviews, observations), the paper focuses on the question about how the book system written by specialists or referents operates in the configuration of a public problem.
