Abstract
Este artículo analiza la cobertura de la Revolución china en Chile y Perú a través de diversos periódicos y revistas publicadas tanto en las capitales de ambos países (Lima y Santiago) como en ciudades donde residían importantes comunidades chinas, tales como Arequipa, Tacna, Arica e Iquique. Dicha revolución que se desarrolló entre octubre de 1911 y febrero de 1912 y que puso fin a la dinastía Qing dando origen a la República, suscitó gran interés de los medios de comunicación impresos chilenos y peruanos. La circulación de noticias e imágenes sobre China que llegaban desde el exterior y se reproducían en medios locales permitió conocer y como se analizará, complejizar la imagen que los lectores locales tenían respecto a esta nación y sus habitantes. Sostenemos la existencia de discursos contradictorios respecto a China y los chinos residentes en el espacio local, pues mientras los medios de comunicación analizados alababan la modernidad de China, la fiereza de sus líderes y sus súbditos, estos mismos eran portavoces de un discurso fuertemente racializado contra la inmigración china y su presencia en las Américas.
This article analyzes the newspapers and magazines coverage of the Chinese Revolution in Chile and Peru published both in the capitals of both countries (Lima and Santiago) and in cities where important Chinese communities lived. This event that took place in China between October 1911 and February 1912 and led to the Republic had significant coverage and provoked great interest from the media. The circulation of news and images about China published in local media gave local readers a more complex image of this nation. This paper states the existence of contradictory discourses regarding China and the Chinese residents in the local space. While the vast majority of the media praised the modernity of China and the fierceness of its leaders and citizens, these same media were spokespersons for an intensely racialized discourse against Chinese immigration and their presence in the Americas.
