Spanning from the 1876 exposition in Philadelphia; through Paris 1889; and culminating in Paris 1900; this book examines how Argentina; Brazil; and Mexico forged the image of a modernizing Latin America at the moment of their insertion into the new visual economy of capitalism; as well as how their modern writers experienced and narrated these events by introducing new literary forms and modernizing literary language. Following these itineraries overseas and back; Uslenghi illuminates the contested; political; and transformative relations that emerged as images and material culture travelled from sites of production to those of exhibition; exchange; and consumption.
