A history of photography in 19th century Argentina. The book is an analysis of the photography of that period and of the ways in which, by virtue of concrete modes of production, diffusion, consumption and appropriation, it collaborated in the construction of stories about progress and modernization, while at the same time it was instituted as a modernizing device. This research restores the historical density of these images, looking at them - and in the photographic medium - the meanings they acquired at the time, and the discourses and ideas they elicited. The different practices and the institutions that gave them origin gave photography a complex status, in tension between the documentary, the artistic and the scientific.
