ALABART, Mónica. Gauchos, Montoneras and Leaders: an Interpretation through the Comic Strip El Chumbiao by Fermín Chávez and Juan Arancio. Folia [online]. 2015, n.24, pp.00-00. ISSN 0325-8238.

El Chumbiao is a comic strip whose screenplay was written by the historian Fermín Chávez with drawings of Juan Arancio. This comic strip appeared in Clarín on January 1967, and it narrated the adventures of Geronimo Romero, a gaucho matrero jordanista. Hence, El Chumbiao fictionalizes one point in the history of the nineteenth century in Argentina. This article analyzes how, under a non-academic record as the comic strip El Chumbiao, the authors paradoxically construct a representation of the participation of the popular sectors, the gauchos, who formed the federal montoneras, that overcomes the classic views of the revisionism itself, and is related to current perspectives that consider them as political actors.

Palavras-chave : Gauchos; montoneras; revisionism; jordanista rebellion.
