I15-R230-article-2992022-07-11T19:48:40Z The charm of Tutankhamun. Egyptomania in the porteña press (1923-1925) El encanto de Tutankhamón. La egiptomanía en la prensa porteña (1923-1925) Alderete, Matías The Tutankhamen’s tomb discovery in the 1920s evidenced the western fascination upon the Ancient Egypt. Argentina wasn’t an exception: the Buenos Aires press echoed this event, which was circulated in various ways in illustrated newspapers and weeklies. Readers could follow news, articles of interest, illustrations, and photographs that, taking elements from european Egyptomania, exalted the sensuality and mystery of ancient times. The local press generated its own content: stories, illustrations or political satires evoked pharaonic Egypt and made it closer. That way, Egyptomania functioned as a link between the young nation and the global horizon, allowing it to join with a feeling of cosmopolitan charm. El descubrimiento de la tumba de Tutankhamón en los años veinte evidenció la fascinación que la antigüedad egipcia ejerció en el mundo occidental. Argentina no fue la excepción: la prensa porteña se hizo eco de este acontecimiento, que circuló de formas diversas en los periódicos y semanarios ilustrados. Podían verse noticias, artículos de interés, ilustraciones y fotografías que, recurriendo a tópicos de la egiptomanía del Viejo Mundo, exaltaban la sensualidad y el misterio de los tiempos faraónicos. Pero al mismo tiempo, la prensa porteña generó contenido local: acudiendo a relatos, ilustraciones o sátiras políticas evocaron al Antiguo Egipto y lo hicieron más cercano; en este sentido, la egiptomanía funcionó como un vínculo entre la joven nación y el horizonte global, que le permitió comulgar con un sentimiento de encanto cosmopolita.
