This article analyzes the illustrated magazine Caras y Caretas, which was in circulation in Argentina between 1898 and 1941. The journal emerges amidst a context of political and social transformation that resulted in the consolidation of a highly regulatory Argentine nation state. Using satire, chronicles, caricatures and cartoons, the magazine criticized the bourgeois society of the period and the Argentine political-cultural formation. From this broader analysis, the objective is to examine more precisely the ‘carnivalized’ politics expressed in caricatures and satires of editions of Caras y Caretas in the years 1901 (Cao, 1901) and 1902 (Kiernan, 1902), trying to reflect on its function as an instrument of representation of the political and social roles of Argentine society of the early 20th century.
