PROPAGANDA MIGRATORIA VERSUS FRITTA CARO: UN CONTRAPUNTO

Abstract

This article uses the perspective of Fritta Caro to explore the possibilities of disarming the propaganda of Canadian migration institutions. Caro is a fictitious character created by Helena Martín Franco, a Colombian visual artist established in Montreal. The author contrasts the Martín Franco’s performances and discourses with an example of Canadian migratory propaganda. In opposing such contents, the author establishes a dissonant relationship, from which items of information that are incompatible with one another emerge, and concludes that these may offer possibilities to disarm the propaganda of the Canadian migratory institutions.
