| description | This article discusses certain relationships between gender and nation in Latin America by both describing and analyzing some features of the Concurso Nacional de Belleza (National Beauty Contest) in Colombia in the first half of 20th century. The text raises three issues. First, the conflicting forms that identity takes in the process of constructing nations. Second, that the beauty contest is a way of life for women that is both public and civilized. Third, the dispute over social leadership implicit in the contest itself. Finally, the article explains that the reigns of the winners are themselves interesting ways to understand how Latin American societies are both experiencing and facing transformations in the criteria marking social distinctions. |

El objetivo de este artículo es contribuir a la discusión sobre género y nación en Latinoamérica a través de la descripción y el análisis de algunas facetas del Concurso Nacional de Belleza en Colombia en la primera mitad del siglo XX. El texto resalta tres cuestiones. Primero, las formas conflictivas que asume la identidad en el proceso de construir la nación. Segundo, el concurso de belleza como una modalidad de vida pública y civilizada de las mujeres. Tercero, la disputa por el liderazgo social implícita en el reinado como tal. Finalmente, el artículo explica que los reinados son campos interesantes para investigar cómo las sociedades latinoamericanas experimentan y enfrentan la transformación de los criterios de distinción social.
