Beschreibungen/Notizen

• El Perú Ilustrado is the first magazine with illustrations published in Peru in the nineteenth century. Until now it had not been studied, but the illustrations and commentaries it contains are very interesting. This analysis first focuses on the cover of the magazine with its emblematic character that opposes the ideal of progress within a country through to be archaic. Afterwards the analysis focuses on the portraits of celebrities which give special importance to the model of the “self made man” . From north to south Peru is represented as a world on the way to modernity. The legends and commentaries that accompany the illustrations reveals the ideological proposal of the magazine editors that leave the representation of popular figures the end of the magazine. The Perú Ilustrado thus is revealed as a two-edged sword, expressing the ambiguities in the discourse of progress prevailing at the end of the 19th century.
