Someter por las armas, vigilar por la cámara: Estado y visualidad en el Chaco indígena

Abstract

The differents ways to build the visuality in the Argentine Chaco followed strategies sustained by microphysics of power. Although they do not emanate only from the National State, the actions and representations planning from that, influenced to the construction of the power, control and coercion on indigenous groups. We intend to analyze how the visuality experience is presented in the articulation of cultural, social and individual politics. From an review of several approaches aimed indigenous of Chaco, we ask about their role as evidence, truth and order in the process of submitting, vigilance and standardization. So, we show up the complexity of the retationship between power and visuality, that were expressed historically in different layers/strata and uses/circulation.
