Resumen • Viajeros foráneos exploran el Perú en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX registrando impresiones de lo indio. En Lima, en forma simultánea, fotógrafos peruanos y extranjeros consolidan un mercado de la imagen. A comienzos del siglo XX y durante cuatro décadas, en Cusco, el movimiento indigenista disputa por afi anzarse. Este proceso de revalorización, donde lo étnico se reposiciona y jerarquiza, es materia interpeladora de las artes. Es así como las letras y otras expresiones estéticas se vieron implicadas por las ideas indigenistas, atravesándolas para surgir nutridas desde ese ideario. El pasaje a través de este espacio y su incidencia en el cuerpo de la imagen fotográfi ca, es el tema que intenta explorar este artículo, considerando distintos momentos de la fotografía andina y sus artífi ces.Palabras clave: fotografía, Cusco, indigenismo, alteridad, idealización. Abstract • Foreign travelers explore Peru during the second half of the XIX century, capturing impressions of the Indian culture; simultaneously in Lima, Peruvian photographers and those from abroad strengthen a market of images. At the beginning of the XX century and for four decades, the Indigenist movement struggled for consolidation. This revaluation process, where the ethnic repositions itself and its hierarchy, is a questioned matter in the Arts. As well as Liberal Arts, other aesthetical expressions were implicated by indigenous ideas, going through them so that they could emerge nourished from those principles. The passage throughout this space and its impact on the body of the photographic image, become the subject this work intends to explore, considering diverse moments of the Andean photography and its artifi cers.
