ESPOSITO, Guillermina. Discursos civilizadores en los Andes de Argentina: políticos y académicos en la mestización de la Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.1, pp.219-233. ISSN 1850-373X.
In this article I analyze the role of politicians and academics in the production of identification narratives and categories about the inhabitants of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, in the Argentine province of Jujuy. I analyze the 'whitening via miscegenation' of a population previously marked as aboriginal, describing the cultural work that between the last years of the nineteenth century and beginnings of the twentieth, constructed the Quebrada de Humahuaca as a modern region. The legitimate production of narratives about the Quebrada as a civilized region and its inhabitants as survivors of "antique cultures" subject to a biological and cultural mixture that began in colonial times, combined multiple criteria oriented by whitening and transatlantic national project that began to fragment in the 1990s.
