This paper presents a satiric and critical press corpus regarding public celebrations relating to the monarchy in Sevilla during the XVIII century. These papers and news pamphlets offer the counterpoint to the official version of the event contained in informational papers and other news pamphlets. Most of them are part of the controversies in the educational institutions between 1746 and 1789 and give rise to major milestones in satirical journalism of the 18th century in Seville, including satirical gazettes and burlesque news pamphlets. Our objective is to outline the characteristics of this type of controversial text, and to explain the features that make it an essential historical source in the reconstruction of the history of public celebrations. Finally, this paper reveals the names of some authors who hide behind this satirical production.
