The paper examines the circulation of knowledge in the universal exhibitions that occurred in the second half of the 19th century. This text intends to contribute to this discussion analyzing the patterns of presentation of the products in the Brazilian and Argentine pavilions. It is based on the documents produced by the Brazilian and Argentinean committees to demonstrate the importance of natural and agricultural wealth in a scenario of competition in international markets, besides the reports presented by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Commerce and Public Works and the Argentinian Department of Agriculture. In this sense, we proposed to discuss the changes generated by the strengthening of science and technicians, starting from the circulation of knowledge and technologies among a group of men – that included farmers, and statesmen. It was chosen to work in two directions: in linking the world expositions to the agrarian elite projects that prioritized the exploitation of natural wealth, and, at the same time, in bringing to light the link between world expositions and immigrant advertisingKey Words
