description This article reconstructs the experience of the Society of Popular Instruction, as a form of liberal political sociability developed by lawyers and other signiicant individuals in the city between 1843 and 1851. Initially, we present the political conlicts in which these associations were involved during the 1940’s, due particularly to their involvement in provincial and national disputes. Secondly, the formalization of politicalgroups with liberal backing is contextualized as occurring after the consolidation of the movement between 1849 and 1850. Lastly a discursive analysis of the Democratic Society of Tunja is provided with regard to its sense of belonging, strategies, utopias and dystopias, that characterized a liberal proposal in the region in the mid-19th century. It is concluded that the liberal organization in Tunja sought to take advantage of the political situation of the time in order to improve the position ofcertain projects and interests of notable individuals in the city.

El artículo reconstruye la experiencia de la Sociedad de Instrucción Popular de Tunja, como una forma de sociabilidad política liberal desarrollada por abogados y notables de la ciudad entre los años 1843 y 1851. En un primer momento son presentados los conflictos políticos en que se vieron involucradas las asociaciones durante la década del cuarenta, debido particularmente a su involucramiento en disputas provinciales y estatales. En segundo lugar, se contextualiza la formalización de grupos políticos de apoyo liberal luego de la consolidación del movimiento entre 1849 y 1850. Por último se ofrece un análisis discursivo de la Sociedad Democrática de Tunja, en cuanto hace a su sentido de pertenencia, estrategias, utopías y distopías que caracterizaron una propuesta liberal en la región a mediados del siglo XIX. Se concluye que la organización liberal en Tunja buscó aprovechar la coyuntura política para posicionar mejor ciertos proyectos e intereses de notables de la ciudad. L’article retrace l’expérience de la Société d’Instruction populaire de Tunja, en tant que sociabilité politique libérale développée par des avocats et des notables de la ville entre 1843 et 1851. Premièrement sont présentés les conlits politiques dans lesquels ont été mêlées les associations pendant la décennie de 1840, particulièrement à cause de leur engagement dans des conlits au niveau de la province et de l’État. Deuxièmement, on montre la formation de groupes politiques de base libéral après la consolidation du mouvement entre 1849 et 1850. Finalement, on analyse le discours de la Société démocratique de Tunja, du point de vue du sentiment d’appartenance, des stratégies, des utopies et dystopies qui ont caractérisé le projet libéral dans la région vers le milieu du XIXe siècle. On conclut que l’organisation libérale à Tunja a cherché à proiter de la conjoncture politique pour mieux placer certains projets et intérêts de notables de la ville.
