520 $a Modernity's conquest, since its earliest origins in Western Europe, has gradually extended to every corner of the earth. Drawn to it like a magnet, entire peoples and cultures around the world have been changed. The city of Bogota, the subject of this study, has been no exception.
520 $a The general idea of this study is that elites such as that of Bogota, which were struggling to be modern (and Modern), and therefore to construct a Modern nation around themselves as nationalism-seeking elites, had to emulate, adapt to, and create inequalities in order to follow the steps dictated by state-led nationalism and accommodate themselves to the world system, or Modernity, as it is referred to in this work.
520 $a In this process, the elite of Bogota declared its superiority and distinctiveness by advertising their cultural attributes---life style, social networks, political power, etc.---through representations---photos, chronicles, busts, iconography, etc. This wide variety of representations served different purposes: on the one hand, to show themselves to be Modern, in accordance with the changes of capitalism observed by the European elites, which they obviously emulated and replicated and, on the other hand, to strengthen their position as the elite that ruled the political, economic and social destinies of the region and then of the country, to be observed by their subalterns.
520 $a Nevertheless, it is necessary to keep in mind that such self-representations do indeed work---in the sense that they help to reproduce existing inequalities---as long as the elites remain relatively unified and unchallenged. In this sense, "the great paradox of Latin American history" has served to facilitate differentiation and to maintain social inequalities. The history of Bogota from 1830 to 1946 illustrates the validity of these arguments. The present study concentrates on the final phase in which the hegemony of the Bogota elite increased its vulnerability---between 1930 and 1946---by, among other things, the arrival of 20th century mass media---photography, cinema, radio etc., and it uses content-analysis of magazine photographs to back up its arguments.
