Cultura visual de cazadores Shelk´nam/Haush y Yámana/Yagán de Tierra del Fuego: una comparación entre fotografías, textos y artefactos arqueológicos

| description | In this paper we discuss the formation of a Western visual culture about two Indigenous Fueguian societies, which linked the Shelk'nam/Haush with a pedestrian hunter ethos, and the Yamana/Yagan with a maritime hunter ethos. We analyse 513 Shelk'nam/Haush photographs and 428 Yámana/Yagán photographs and we compare them with information of 58 written texts about the Shelk'nam/Haush and 103 about the Yámana/Yagán and archaeological data from both societies. The comparison between both records allows us to discuss: a) the differential visibility of artefacts usually associated with a pedestrian hunter way of life -bows and arrows- and those associated to a maritime hunter way of life -harpoons- and b) the gender associated with both hunting activities. We consider that the visibility of these artefacts in visual and written culture is both associated to each Fueguian society in terms of their own idiosyncracy, as well as to the imaginary of Western voyagers who contacted them. |
