GIRALDO-ZULUAGA, Luisa Fernanda  and  ANDRADE-ALVAREZ, Margot. The Narratives of Travelers in Antiguo Caldas. CS [online]. 2022, n.37, pp.175-202.  Epub Sep 15, 2022. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i37.5078.

This article addresses the narratives of some travelers who visited Antiguo Caldas. The purpose is to analyze the region as a construct based on the descriptions of the territory and the population included in the selected travelers' narratives. The article adopts a qualitative historical-anthropological approach based on the review of the travelers' memories and reports and other bibliographic sources that complement and expand them. The article shows how the narratives of the travelers contributed to the configuration of a sociocultural model supported by notions of geography, race, family, and gender that was extended to the newly colonized territories in the south of the province of Antioquia from which Antiguo Caldas emerged as a region.

Keywords : Narratives; Travelers; Antiguo Caldas; Region; Manizales.
