Highlights
For about one hundred years, a heterogeneous group of indigenous and non-indigenous, Paraguayan, Argentinean and European people has been working in the tannin factory of Puerto Casado (Paraguay)
As if emerging from a fantasy tale, its tannin factory has been functioning for exactly one hundred years - from 1896 to 1996 thanks to a working force of mixed class and ethnic background: indigenous and nonindigenous Paraguayan people, Argentinean managers and European and Argentinean woking class migrants [Dalla Corte 2012]
Between 2015 and 2016, for about ten months, I resided in Puerto Casado and Asuncion in order to carry on a research on the one hundred years of history of Carlos Casado’s tannin factory
Summary
For about one hundred years, a heterogeneous group of indigenous and non-indigenous, Paraguayan, Argentinean and European people has been working in the tannin factory of Puerto Casado (Paraguay). The ritual dresses of indigenous local people appear very different from the ones wore in carnival by Paraguayans, as we can see from the individual portraits taken during feminine initiation rituals in recent times [picture 7].
