Fotograbado y espectáculo en la historiografía visual de Caras y Caretas (1898-1910) Szir, Sandra This work explores the use of the photographic image in the early years of the popular illustrated weekly Caras y Caretas, published between 1898 and 1939, in relation to content from the national historical past. It investigates the ways in which the articles discursively and visually treat individual figures such as San Martín or Rosas and their images, or events such as the conquest of the desert or Semana de Mayo (May Week), as well as other types of cultural stories, customs like the old carnivals. It thus covers the various strategies and modalities in the visual communicative practices of Caras y Caretas that move from the use of the image in a scientific documentary sense to the fictional recreation of historical events. Then it shows the cultural crossover between the appeal to the past and national identity, the modern material technology of halftone and the mass visual culture. Este trabajo explora la utilización de la imagen fotográfica en los primeros años del semanario popular ilustrado Caras y Caretas, publicado entre 1898 y 1939, en relación con contenidos del pasado histórico nacional. Se indaga en los modos cómo los artículos tratan discursiva y visualmente a las figuras individuales como San Martín o Rosas y sus imágenes, o acontecimientos como la conquista del desierto o la Semana de Mayo, a la vez que otro tipo de historias culturales, de costumbres como los antiguos carnavales. Recorre así las diversas estrategias y modalidades en las prácticas visuales comunicativas de Caras y Caretas que transitan de la utilización de la imagen en un sentido documental cientificista a la recreación ficcional de acontecimientos históricos. Se muestra entonces el cruce cultural entre la apelación al pasado y la identidad nacional, la tecnología material moderna del fotograbado y la cultura visual masiva.
