I28-R145-14060_oai2025-11-17 Rey, Nicolás Fernán 2024-01-03 The First World War was an event of total and global characteristics. The destruction caused by new weapons affected nature in a way never seen before. Images and accounts of environmental destruction circulated around the globe, finding an eager audience in Buenos Aires that was keen to consume and engage with those narratives. In this work, we aim to analyze, from the social and cultural history of war and environmental history, the representations of nature’s destruction published in illustrated magazines in Buenos Aires during the war. We argue that those images and narratives about the suffering of the non-human world became part of local debates on forest conservation and animal protection, which had been gaining momentum since the pre-war period. La Primera Guerra Mundial fue un evento de características totales y globales. La destrucción ocasionada por los nuevos armamentos afectó a la naturaleza de una forma nunca antes vista. Imágenes y relatos sobre la destrucción del ambiente circularon alrededor del globo, consiguiendo en la ciudad de Buenos Aires un público ávido por consumir y problematizar aquellos relatos. En este trabajo pretendemos analizar, desde la Historia social y cultural de la guerra y la Historia ambiental, las representaciones sobre la destrucción de la naturaleza que fueron publicadas en las revistas ilustradas porteñas durante la guerra. Sostenemos que aquellas imágenes y relatos sobre el sufrimiento del mundo no-humano se insertaron en los debates locales sobre conservación de los bosques y protección de los animales, los cuales venían estimulándose desde la preguerra. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/14060 10.34096/hyg.n5.14060 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/14060/12439 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/14060/12455 Derechos de autor 2024 Nicolás Fernán Rey Historia & Guerra; No. 5 (2024): January-June; 114-136 Historia & Guerra; Núm. 5 (2024): Enero-Junio; 114-136 2796-8650 Primera Guerra Mundial; Revistas ilustradas; Historia social y cultural; Historia ambiental; Buenos Aires First World War; Illustrated Magazines; Social and Cultural History; Environmental History; Buenos Aires The destruction of nature due to the First World War.

The First World War was an event of total and global characteristics. The destruction caused by new weapons affected nature in a way never seen before. Images and accounts of environmental destruction circulated around the globe, finding an eager audience in Buenos Aires that was keen to consume and engage with those narratives. In this work, we aim to analyze, from the social and cultural history of war and environmental history, the representations of nature’s destruction published in illustrated magazines in Buenos Aires during the war. We argue that those images and narratives about the suffering of the non-human world became part of local debates on forest conservation and animal protection, which had been gaining momentum since the pre-war period. |
