VEZUB, Julio  y  SOURROUILLE, Marcos. Claraz, Sourrouille, Casamiquela: archivo y apropiación en la etnología patagónica. Mem. am. [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.1, pp.125-141. ISSN 1851-3751.

We present the results of our research about the declassification of archives accumulated by Casamiquela, including the documentary heritage of Swiss naturalist Claraz and the later processing of Sourrouille and Vignati -which enabled the publication of Claraz’ travel diary to Chubut in 1865. The importance of Sourrouille -judge and amateur anthropologist and linguist- is highlighted among the group of investigators, archivists and impostors who treasured and studied the documents of Claraz since they were donated to the Argentine government in 1932. Casamiquela, among others who shared a genuine interest in anthropology, was able to obtain relevant information from the Claraz & Sourrouille archives since he was aware of the articulations between landscape and fieldwork. Thus, the reconstruction of anthropological practices allows us to discuss enunciation places and the political economy of the documents underlying the intertextuality of Patagonian ethnological canon.

Palabras clave : History of anthropology; Declassification; Patagonia.
