Transnational Visual Parodies: Political Cartoons of Perón in the Chilean Satirical Magazine Topaze , 1943–1958
2024
Overview
Although a few historians have discussed the influence of Peronism in Chile, research has been guided mostly by diplomatic studies and political history, which, though important, are less convincing for historians interested in logics of media representation, particularly from the satirical press. This article explores visual representations of Argentina’s president Juan Perón (1946–1955) in the Chilean magazine Topaze . By discussing and contextualizing a series of images produced by Chilean cartoonists, this study provides new insights into the important role played by the press in shaping anti-Peronist sensibilities and discrediting Perón within Chilean domestic politics. Studying the impact of Peronism in the region—particularly in neighboring countries such as Chile—is useful for thinking about Peronism as a transnational phenomenon with multiple meanings outside Argentina. Aunque algunos historiadores han discutido la influencia del peronismo en Chile, la investigación se ha guiado mayoritariamente por estudios diplomáticos e historia política, los cuales, por cierto importantes, resultan menos convincentes para investigadores interesados en lógicas de representación mediática y particularmente desde la prensa satírica. Este artículo explora las representaciones visuales del presidente argentino Juan Perón (1946–1955) en la revista chilena Topaze . Al discutir y contextualizar una serie de imágenes producidas por talentosos caricaturistas chilenos, el estudio brinda nuevos conocimientos sobre el importante papel que jugó la prensa en la formación de sensibilidades antiperonistas y en el descrédito de Perón dentro de la política interna chilena. Estudiar el impacto del peronismo en la región —particularmente de países vecinos como Chile— puede ser útil para pensar el peronismo como un fenómeno transnacional con múltiples significados fuera de Argentina.
