YUJNOVSKY, Ines. Representations of space, time, and indigenous women in photographs, 19th to 21st centuries. Mem. Soc. [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.43, pp.10-29. ISSN 0122-5197.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.mys21-43.retm.

This work aims to understand the incidence of power relations that certain temporal representations about indigenous groups can exercise in our past and current understanding. Various images replicated ideas of natives who, despite being alive, showed a culture absorbed in a larger past. Therefore, to understand the process by which indigenous diversity in national culture becomes invisible, it is relevant to consider the mechanisms of discursive montage -visual and textual- linked to the temporal notions of Indians supposedly living in a remote time. Bearing this in mind, this work analyzed the montage processes, from the production of the photographs to the editing and presentation of images, in the press, postcards, as well as scientific and disclosure publications, to see how small changes in terms of framing, contrast, retouching, or selection can sometimes influence the construction of different stories, in terms of understanding, as well as in the constructed and conflicting understandings.
