Resumo: | This article aims to analyze the kind of images published in the Caras y Caretas magazine between 1898 and 1939, reconstruct the debates that took place about the publication and the changes that it boosted in the contemporary press. In the early twentieth century there were profound changes in the press of Argentina that included the gradual incorporation of photographs. The technological development and the interest in providing visual appeal in newspapers and magazines were the two mainstays that encouraged the use of photographs, which allowed these media to expand their audiences by incorporating new readers. The possibility of publishing a greater number of increasingly clear images produced a revolution in the way events were transmitted. “Caras y Caretas” was the first media in Argentina that incorporated the photograph in a massive and systematic way and created a stable group of photographers that covered the current political, national and international facts, setting the backgrounds of the development of the national photojournalism. The journal recorded social, scientific and cultural events that showed the signs of national modernization along with the political conflicts that derived from that process. This massive use of images and the generated attraction and new sales strategy, brought to the journal the criticism of an enlightened elite that associated the insertion of photography with the “vulgarization” of journalism. |

A principios del siglo XX en Argentina se produjeron profundos cambios en la prensa que incluyeron la incorporación paulatina de fotografías. El desarrollo tecnológico y el interés en proporcionar atractivo visual en diarios y revistas fueron los dos pilares que incentivaron la incorporación de fotografías, lo que le permitió a estos medios ampliar sus públicos incorporando nuevos lectores. La posibilidad de publicar una mayor cantidad de imágenes cada vez más nítidas significó una revolución en la forma de transmisión de los acontecimientos. Caras y Caretas fue el primer medio en Argentina que incorporó la fotografía de modo masivo y sistemático y creó un plantel estable de fotógrafos que cubrían hechos de la actualidad política, nacional e internacional armando protorreportajes que se adelantaron a lo que sería el desarrollo del fotoperiodismo nacional en el futuro. La revista registró acontecimientos sociales, científicos y culturales que mostraron los signos de la modernización nacional junto con los conflictos políticos que derivaban de ese proceso. Este uso masivo de imágenes, y lo que generaban como atractivo y estrategia de ventas, le trajo aparejada a la revista la crítica de un sector de la élite ilustrada, que asociaba la incorporación de la fotografía a una forma de “vulgarización” del periodismo.***A fotografia na revista Caras y Caretas (1898-1939): inovações técnicas, profissionalização e imagens da atualidade***Este artigo se propõe a analizar o tipo de imagens que se publicaram na revista Caras y Caretas, entre 1898 e 1939, reconstruir os debates que se produziram ao redor da publicação e as mudanças que a mesma impulsou na imprensa contemporânea. No início do século XX ocorreram mudanças profundas na imprensa Argentina que incluíram a incorporação gradual de fotografias. O desenvolvimento tecnológico e o interesse em proporcionar apelos visuais nos jornais e revistas foram os dois pilares que incentivaram a incorporação das fotografias, o que permitiu a estes meios ampliar seus públicos e incorporar novos leitores. A possibilidade de publicar uma maior quantidade de imagens cada vez mais nítidas significou uma revolução na forma de transmissão dos acontecimentos. Caras y Caretas foi o primeiro veículo na Argentina que incorporou a fotografia de modo massivo e sistemático e criou uma equipe estável de fotógrafos que cobriam os acontecimentos da atualidade política, nacional e internacional, construindo proto-reportagens que anteciparam o que seria o desenvolvimento do fotojornalismo nacional no futuro. A revista registrou acontecimentos sociais, científicos e culturais que mostraram os símbolos da modernização nacional junto com os conflitos políticos que derivavam desse processo. Este uso em massa de imagens, apresentado como atrativo e como nova estratégia de vendas, trouxe à revista a crítica de um setor da elite ilustrada, que associava a incorporação da fotografia a uma forma de “vulgarização” do jornalismo.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2018-04-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/article/view/2739110.15448/1980-864X.2018.1.27391Estudos Ibero-Americanos; Vol. 44 No. 1 (2018): Dossier - Photography, visual culture and history: theoretical and methodological perspectives; 120-137Estudos Ibero-Americanos; Vol. 44 Núm. 1 (2018): Dosier - Fotografía, cultura visual y historia: perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas; 120-137Estudos Ibero-Americanos; v. 44 n. 1 (2018): Dossiê - Fotografia, Cultura Visual e História: perspectivas teóricas e metodológicas; 120-1371980-864X0101-406410.15448/1980-864X.2018.1reponame:Estudos Ibero-Americanosinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSspahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/article/view/27391/16684Copyright (c) 2018 Cora Gamarnikhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGamarnik, Cora2018-08-13T16:52:10Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/27391Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericanaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br||eia@pucrs.br1980-864X0101-4064opendoar:2018-08-13T16:52:10Estudos Ibero-Americanos - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false |
