The archaeological collection of objects and human skeletal remains held at the Field Museum of Natural History of Chicago is part of a complex historical narrative that this article seeks to address. The objects herein studied originate from three provinces of the Argentine Northwest (Salta, Tucumán, and Catamarca). These artifacts were acquired during the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition celebrated at St. Louis (Missouri, United States). They were purchased directly from Manuel Zavaleta, their collector. Here we propose to analyze some of the main social and political conditions that underpinned the collections' display in St. Louis, culminating in its storage and preservation at the museum in Chicago. We also examine the exchange –in low quantities– of some of these objects with other institutions. Our article is informed by the underlying theme that the scientific field is an area of tension between different social actors, institutions, and activities. This concept will be used to account for the vicissitudes suffered by these pieces since their recovery by Argentina. A social life of things approach will allow us to understand how archaeological objects were the subject of multiple social disputes and of varied perspectives concerning the past, and the future, of not only these objects but also contemporary indigenous groups at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th Century. ; La colección de objetos arqueológicos y restos óseos humanos depositada en el Field Museum of Natural History de Chicago se inscribe dentro de una compleja trama histórica que este artículo busca explorar.

We analyze several narratives written from the archeology field on the History of local societies in the Calchaquí valleys during the period of contact with the Spanish conquerors (1535-1665). We connect these narratives with their historical context and examine if the archaeological production expanded the incision that different official narratives created between pre-Hispanic past and Republican present in the area. We inquire on the narrative developed from the beginnings of archaeology to mid-twentieth century produc-tion to see how past is shaped through the materiality chosen as relevant and we relate it to the official historical narratives, those that have been promoted and used from entities that manage power apparatuses. We propose a narrative coherence between both groups and discuss the interrelationships between the scientific field of archeology and the broader political context. ; Se revisan diversas narrativas escritas desde la arqueología acerca de la historia de las sociedades locales en los valles Calchaquíes para el período de contacto hispano-indígena (1535-1665). Vinculamos estas na-rrativas con su contexto histórico y analizamos si la producción arqueológica amplió el corte entre el pasado prehispánico y el presente republicano del área que diferentes narrativas oficiales han generado. Indagamos la narrativa originada desde los inicios de la arqueología hasta la producción de mediados del siglo XX viendo qué pasado es narrado a través de la materialidad escogida como relevante y la relacionamos con narrativas históricas oficiales, es decir aquellas que han sido impulsadas y empleadas desde entidades que manejan los aparatos de poder. Se observa una coherencia narrativa entre ambos grupos y se discuten las interrelaciones entre el campo científico de la arqueología y el contexto político más amplio.

Fil: Gluzman, Geraldine Andrea. National Council for Scientific and Technical Research. University of Buenos Aires. Institute for Cultures; Argentina Photographic reservoirs are sources of historical information that allow us to approach the study of a variety of social phenomena such as economic trends, political events, mentalities, everyday life, gender, material culture, among others. The photograph makes it possible to cover analytical micro- and macro-scales. This work brings the railway and mining activity in Latin America closer to the study on the basis of a study case, recognising tasks of planning, installation, organisation of work, links with other economic activities in one area and national political projects, as well as how these activities were seen by those who photographed them or subsequently recorded them in an album or collection. The photographic collection? Railroad construction and mining in Bolivia and Chile deposited at the Getty Institute (Los Angeles, California, USA) is the proposed focus of analysis. His author, Charles W. Glover, left the register of his activities as a member of the Oruro Drawing Office Staff of the Bolivian railway company and of his journey through the area in 10 albums consisting of 115 photonegative and 55 photographic impressions. The collection is assessed in terms of its own training history, while critically reviewing it on the basis of recognising its potential for use for documentary purposes: its contribution to the history of rail and mining activities in the Andean region, its players in work and leisure activities, and the understanding of other social groups, indirect actors in the narrative proposed by the images. The collection takes on historical value as a documentary source by confronting it with contemporary testimonials of engineers, official reports, among others. Gluzman, G. A. (2018).

Apresentam-se os desafios metodológicos aos que fomos confrontados aquando da análise de coleções de imagens fotográficas procedentes da Argentina e do Peru, no período compreendido entre meados do século XIX e do XX, os primeiros 100 anos da utilização desta tecnologia em sul América. O trabalho de arquivo centrou-se na análise de imagens de grupos nativos através de metodologias de corte antropológico. Foram registadas num total de 1309 imagens extraídas de entre 10 coleções. A heterogeneidade das coleções exigiu que foram realizadas aproximações analíticas específicas para cada uma delas. Os registos fotográficos inscrevem-se dentro de coleções que não necessariamente possuem imagens especificas de ambos países e grupos nativos. Contudo foi necessário realizar estudos abrangentes das coleções por forma a conhecermos as suas coerências internas, não pudendo subtrair as imagens dos grupos sem considerar o seu contexto. A través de 4 estudos de caso – e 714 imagens -exploramos os alcances das representações e distribuições das referidas populações indígenas. ; This paper presents the methodological challenges that were faced in the analysis of collections of photographs from Argentina and Peru for the period from mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, that is the first hundred years of the use of photography in South America. Archival research was focused on the analysis of photographic image of native groups. An anthropological perspective to analyze the modes of representation of indigenous communities was proposed, posing a multidirectional reading of images and assessing whether they responded to a system of representation promoted by a nationalist discourse and/or if the images sought to describe the social identities of the photographed communities. Given that these countries have developed their national identities through different material and symbolic elements, differences in the modes of representation of indigenous groups elements were sought in the pictures (e.g. shots in everyday scenes, in ...
