Abstract

The daguerreotypes are the oldest photographs ever to arrive to Chile. Their irruption generated four epistemic phenomena: photography like modern instrument in a traditional society; the articulation of a principle of fictional reality taken from the aesthetic of personal representation; the constitution of taxonomic and gender categories; and the articulation of a proxemics of daguerreotypes which primarily confonn a field of disguising representations with organization, exhibition and articulation precepts of contradictory imageries.
