Resumen
El semanario ilustrado Caras y Caretas de Buenos Aires fue un gran almacén de textos e imágenes donde todo se ofrecía a la mirada y al consumo del público. Como organización conjunta de lo visible y lo legible fue también un dispositivo de exposición de la literatura, mostrando textualidades, firmas e imágenes de autor. Con esos puntos de partida se analiza la serie “La vida de los animales” y la crónica “Cómo viven y trabajan nuestros escritores”, partes del conjunto textual y visual más amplio que a mediados de la década de 1920 presentó la literatura de Horacio Quiroga al amplio público. Los textos, ilustraciones y fotografías invitaron a recorrer una galería de animales exóticos de una región desconocida, presentados por un escritor “salvaje”, cuya vida en la naturaleza también era un atractivo espectáculo. En esos materiales se indaga el modo en que el semanario popular de Buenos Aires, al dar a ver y a leer un conjunto de imágenes y textos, configuró rasgos de la escritura y de la figura del escritor, así como formas específicas de promoción y consumo de su literatura.
The illustrated weekly Caras y Caretas of Buenos Aires was a great storehouse of texts and images where everything was offered to the gaze and consumption of the public. As a joint organization of the visible and the legible, it was also a device for the exhibition of literature, displaying textualities, signatures and images of authors. With these starting points in mind, we analyze the series “La vida de los animales” and the chronicle “Cómo viven y trabajan nuestros escritores”, parts of the larger textual and visual ensemble that in the mid-1920s made Horacio Quiroga's literature visible and readable to the wide public. Its texts, illustrations and photographs invited readers to tour a gallery of exotic animals from an unknown region, presented by a “wild” writer whose life in nature was also an attractive spectacle. These materials investigate the way in which the popular weekly of Buenos Aires gave to see and read a set of images and texts, configuring features of the writing and the figure of the writer, as well as specific forms of promotion and consumption of his literature.
