Las Buenas Maneras. Fotografía y sujeto burgués en América Latina (Siglo XIX)

Main Article Content

José Antonio Navarrete

Abstract

The present work approaches the importance of the photographic staging as the accurate presentation of the elite and its modernity project in Latin America, in the midst of a continuing process of the model established by the European tradition. One of the most effective discourses in order to achieve this aim is the Venezuelan Manuel Antonio Carrefio's Handbook of Urbanity and Good Manners (Manual de urbanidad y buenas maneras). The portrait photograph joins the bourgeois compliance that fulfills concrete social needs which are at the service of the national conscience and the 'good citizen'.
