Entre la representación y el silencio. "La Página del Pueblo" durante el primer ano del magazín Mundial (Perú, 1920-1931)

Objective: To analyze Mundial magazine's "La página del pueblo" (lpdp) within the context of Augusto Leguía's "Patria Nueva" and the conceptualizations about the magazine genre. Methodology: By focusing on lpdp during the magazine's first year of circulation, we aim to delve into the problematics posed by this section, especially during a time of alleged sociopolitical opening and renewal. The disciplinary fields include: magazine studies, which provide a framework to address the materialities and understand the uniqueness of Mundial with regards to other equivalent publications in the region; history studies, to insert the themes and problems into the map of the discussions and situations of the moment; and visual culture studies, with the guidelines to analyze the written-visual frameworks and consider the section as the image-object granted to "el pueblo" silenced and violated in other sections of the magazine. Originality: There is a lack of studies about Mundial's "La página del pueblo" or about specific sections of the magazine. The presence of relevant figures from the literary-intellectual field, such as Mariátegui, evaded concerns about a controversial publication that, despite giving a platform to intellectuals associated with a vindictive thought, remained, as this reading from the edge to the center suggests, close to the interests of the liberal bourgeoisie and Christian thought. Conclusions: lpdp was the discussion platform for problems of a socio-national group that remained as an object of reflection and not as a political subject. The reduced amount of images of popular sectors, as well as their mediated depictions and continuous infantilization, showcase to what extent the attempts to represent popular groups actually had the opposite outcome.
