Abstract

Argentine weekly magazine Caras y Caretas is an extraordinary documentary collection for the study of nineteenth-century reality finisecular and early twentieth century. It was an inspired publication in European magazines, with great success, he addressed a wide range of topics. In its pages, they proliferated traditional texts with countless images that gave its stamp and positioned between an increasingly wider audience, eager for news of the country and the world. In this article, we consider the magazine as a caricature, as it built a reality exacerbating some traits over others. We stop in the study of the weekly in 1912, key in the transition from a notable politics a mass in Argentina moment, trying to glimpse the intertextuality between word and image-present throughout caricature is possible to trace in this publication miscellany.
