A cinco siglos del primer cruce del Estrecho de Magallanes, se analizan las experiencias inglesas de Francis Drake (1577-1580) y Thomas Cavendish (1586-1588) con el propósito de reconstruir las apropiaciones simbólicas que los navegantes hicieron de la región fueguina y sus habitantes. Impresos, manuscritos, imágenes y mapas evocan a la alteridad americana más austral en tanto dispositivo de la competencia ultramarina entre Inglaterra y España. Asimismo, dan cuenta de las hostilidades con los nativos desatadas durante el cruce, interpretadas en función de los objetivos de los viajeros y su validación autoral. De allí que el trabajo enfatice los contrastes entre las dos experiencias de circunnavegación inglesas, dando cuenta de las condiciones de producción de sus representaciones.
