VARGAS ALVAREZ, Sebastián. Disassembling images of difference. Representations of the indigenous in the Latin American national commemorations. Mem. Soc. [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.43, pp.30-49. ISSN 0122-5197. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.mys21-43.didr.
This article explores some visual representations of the indigenous in Latin American patriotic commemorations during the last two centuries, based on the method and approach of «montage» proposed by Walter Benjamin. For this purpose, we analyze images of different formats and genres (historical painting, engraving, photography, sculpture) corresponding to countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, and Uruguay; images that are considered as fragments of a discontinuous and non-linear history, of the construction and representation processes of the nation, of its identity and otherness.
