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

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 ph...

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.
