| Sumario: | Contextualizing three descriptions from John R. Spears, an American journalist who traveled on Patagonia’s coasts in 1894, this work explores the transition moment when Patagonia ceased to be a mythical place to discover and became a land for economic profit. It was the time of Indian genocide, of the massive arrival of migrant labour, and of the pre-eminence of the private interest over national sovereignties. It’s also the moment when free circulation of beings and objects on the pampas was captured by the sheep-farmer machine and organized following its industrial criteria. It’s the time, in short, when Patagonia’s past initiates an homogenisation process as the history of a progressive colonisation, and to which we have to return to resituate its different trends. |
