Description: The work of Inés Yujnovsky, PhD in History- proposes a new look at the travel stories -and their images of the expeditions that advanced through Patagonia after 1879, once that space was freed from indigenous rule. This book explores how the incorporation of Patagonia into the Argentine Republic was carried out from the relationship between photographs and travel stories. The study of Inés Yujnovsky, which focuses on the photographic image as a key piece in the processes of conquest, reveals the importance of photography in the production and distribution of senses that allowed territorial definition in the South of the continent. Through the analysis of travelers, their documentation strategies, the forms of exhibition of bodies and the relationship with spaces and times, "Viajeros a la sombra de Darwin" allows us to understand more easily the political place of the image in the territorial history of Patagonia.
