Maps of a possible future. Visual artifacts in the construction of a projective representation of the argentinian Patagonia (Bahía Blanca, 1940-1970)
Abstract
This work reconstructs and analyzes the production of landscape and cartographic images of the argentinian Patagonia - occurred in Bahía Blanca in the mid-twentieth century - as part of the socio-cultural process that sought to consolidate a notion of centrality of this town over the southern region of the country. In this sense, we will argue that the graphics in question echoed the primacy of the sense of sight in modern western societies and contributed to the conformation of a visual culture which articulated to the mobilization of a broad sector of the Bahía Blanca citizens that, by different ways, were looking for a position of regional hegemony.
