Exhibitions are a privileged site for observing the emergence of Latin American nation-states as subjects of capital in the second half of the nineteenth century. As such, they were inscribed from the outset in a global force-field of demands and interests, performed at national agriculture and industry exhibitions, World Fairs and Expositions Universelles, in terms of visual display and consumption. At the same time, these exhibitions of the national as and through commodities to the eyes of audiences at home and abroad, also allow us to observe the emergence, from within the visual economy of liberal capitalism, of a dissident or oppositional figure of national modernity as self-development that challenged hegemonic regimes of value.

Las exposiciones son un lugar privilegiado para observar la emergencia de los Esta-dos-naciones latinoamericanos como sujetos del capital en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Como tales, estaban inscritos, desde el comienzo, en un campo global de fuerzas, donde se cruzaban intereses y demandas, puestos en escena en exposiciones nacionales y universales de agriculture e industria. Al mismo tiempo, estas muestras de lo nacional a través de la mercanda expuesta a las miradas de públicos locales y foráneos también permiten observar la emergencia, desde el interior de la propia economia visual del capitalismo liberal, de una figura disidente de la modernidad arraigada en la idea del desarrollo nacional, que desafiaba los regimenes hegemónicos de valor.
