Memorias y representaciones sobre el criollo del chaco argentino

Abstract

In Argentina, the creole population has been appreciated or undervalued according to the dominant national political vision. Border situations and contact between descendants of former Spanish settlers and the indigenous peoples of the Chaco allowed the rise of mutual representations that dominate their discourse up to these days. In this regard, there are paintings belonging to the nineteenth and twentieth century whose data on the creole are relevant to contrast with the aboriginal representation of the specific rural creole settlers of Mision Nueva Pompeya and the places related to this village of the Chaco.
