Conflict and Representation. The criminal “tano” in Carlos Mauricio Pacheco’s one-act comedy

Abstract
This article examines the way in which the Italian immigrants are represented in Los disfrazados (1906), a one-act comedy written by Carlos Mauricio Pacheco. Our reflection focuses its attention on the character of the "tano" to specify features that create an original image of the new social actors who came from Europe. The approach to the character of the "gringo" as an ideologema is essential to highlight the conflicts of cohabitation among immigrants and criollos in a political horizon dominated by the nationalist speeches that criminalize foreigners through the stigma of disease and violence.Downloads
