Main Article Content

Mariana Giordano

Abstract

The following paper proposes to analyze historical photographs of the Argentine Chaco indigenous people from both a scientifi c point of view and the indigenous communities’ one. It is necessary to discuss not only the «aesthetic sincerity» of historical and contemporary productions and the hegemonic forms that construct historical subjects and social identities, but also the ethics of contemporary productions, ethics of the indigenous images circulation and the ethics of receiving these images today. The article proposes a dialogue to discuss the concepts of refl ection and infl ection in the perception of images.
