Race and authenticity in Argentine comics, 1950s-1970s
"Draw a Guerrilla!" Betrayal, Solitude, and Revolutionary Art
This article analyzes the sketches of Ernesto "Che" Guevara and fellow guerrillas made by the Argentine Ciro Bustos during his captivity in Bolivia in 1967. Many of the references to Bustos in biographies of Guevara and in writings about the latter's failed Bolivian campaign depict Bustos, because of those sketches, as "the man who betrayed Che." The tensions and discrepancies in those accounts suggest instead that Bustos's sketches should be see…
Comic-Strip Mining
From the oil pipelines that scar the Northwest Territories transforming the lives of First Nation communities to the forest fires that rampage across the Gran Chaco due to soy deforestation, the devastating impact of neoextractivism is writ large in the Americas. To the backdrop of ecological devastation and the struggle for natural resources, local peoples across the region are faced with the impact of cultural upheaval and displacement brought …
Portraits in the Andes
Photography and Latin American Ruins
Ever since the nineteenth century photographers have regularly turned to Latin American ruins to express a diverse range of scientific, colonial, aesthetic and spiritual desires. This article looks at photographs of Latin American ruins from the nineteenth century through several archaeological expeditions in Central and South America over the course of the twentieth century. Focusing in particular on photographs of ruins that include human subje…
Visualising Traces of the Past in Latin America
The articles included in this special issue address the shifting relationship between traces of the past and photography in Latin America from the nineteenth century to the present day. Looking at different forms of materiality and trace in Latin America, from pre-Columbian remains to body art and industrial ruins, this issue also understands photographs as material objects that ‘act’ within particular visual economies. In this introduction, we o…
Argentina Since the 2001 Crisis
Andean Self-Fashioning
This article analyses Martín Chambi’s photographs at Machu Picchu. At a time when pre-Columbian ruins were a key element of national and regional identity formation in Peru, used to engage with the role diverse ethnicities should play in new social and political relations, Chambi’s work offers a privileged lens for studying the role of photography in terms of marshalling the material past. Some images Chambi took at Machu Picchu offer a set of tr…
Once Upon a Time in Buenos Aires
Imitating Incas and becoming llama
This article revisits Tintin's adventures in Latin America, not only tracing the themes of colonialism and the ethnographic present in the works but also reconsidering the traditional reading of The Adventures of Tintin as simply a patronizing vision of the Latin American other. The article draws on fluid notions of latinidad to highlight how Tintin and friends are sometimes (unwittingly) able to `act Latin' — at least until Tintin becomes weary …
From la guerra sucia to 'A Gentleman's Fight
Analysing the last Argentine dictatorship in the light of contemporary re-examinations of war, this article argues that the 1976-1983 dictatorship can be understood as a shift in war(s), from la guerra sucia to the Falklands/Malvinas conflict, from a limitless and unsustainable internal war to a bracketed external war. That external war is shown to be an attempt to re-found a nation imploding through disappearance. Drawing on the history of disap…
