In search of an imagery of domestic objects in Chile (1860—1930) through Lira Popular broadsheets as a graphic and identity reference

MALACCHINI, Simoné ;

Article:

One of the most important examples of identity graphics in Chile is the Lira Popular, a set of broadsheets printed in Chile (1860-1930) by popular poets who would report sensationalist news in décimas [ten-line stanzas], generally illustrated with an engraving; a largely urban phenomenon due to rural-urban migration and the resulting population growth in cities. Beyond the content of the broadsheets the image takes on relevance: the engravings reinforce a visual imagery where domestic objects, associated with the popular class, and consistent with the identity of these broadsheets, are represented and recognized as of part of a local identity. The following paper will approach material culture in Chile through a focus on objects of everyday use as seen in the Lira Popular, in order to elucidate from them a collective imagery and identity.
