Soccer as civic pedagogy
Barrabases was the most popular children’s soccer comic in Chile and the first of its kind in the Spanish-speaking world. Created by cartoonist Guido Vallejos, it centred on the mischievous Barrabases team from the fictional town Happy Village. It blended humour, sportsmanship, and moral lessons with vivid depictions of teamwork, discipline, and civic responsibility. Across four editorial periods (1954–1962, 1970–1974, 1975–1980, 1989–2006), the …
Transnational Visual Parodies
Although a few historians have discussed the influence of Peronism in Chile, research has been guided mostly by diplomatic studies and political history, which, though important, are less convincing for historians interested in logics of media representation, particularly from the satirical press.

Play-by-play announcers, who ranged from second-rate actors and singers …
Snapshots of Modernity
Photographic images of football are not neutral or objective records of the past. Exploring the symbolic dimensions, formal features, and context of production of five photographs taken during the 1930 World Cup, celebrated in Montevideo, Uruguay, illuminates the deep connections between sport and culture in modern Uruguay. Photographers created narrative understandings about football that had broader political and cultural meanings. Rather than …
Playing across the Andes
This article examines the central role of sports media in the discussions about national sports programmes at the peak of Latin American populism, particularly during the governments of Juan Perón in Argentina (1946-55) and Carlos Ibáñez in Chile (1952-8). By exploring sports publications such as the Argentine magazinesMundo DeportivoandEl Gráficoand the Chilean weeklyEstadio, I argue that sports media staged stories and images that were both ins…
