Spanish term or phrase: ubicó su figura de historieta en el registro cargado al pintoresquismo
Chilean cultural critic
again, i just need the the phrase above... I can't seem to parse the el registro cargado al pintoresquismo part...

Tampoco habría que descartar el hecho de que algo, en el interior mismo de la obra, pudiera haber estado facilitando su asimilación a las categorías de lectura oficiales; algo quizás relacionado con la iconografía del roto sacada de la revista "Topaze" que ubicó su figura de historieta en el registro cargado al pintoresquismo de una chilenidad demasiado familiar, para la cual esta representación de lo popular sólo funciona gráficamente como "símbolo de un exterior domesticado."

Explanation:
´´which´´ refers to the magazine Topaze...and the phrase might continue thus: within the gamut (or sphere) of the picturesque of a Chilean essence that had become too familiar (or too common)

Explanation:
of the picturesque in an all-too-familiar (informal)...
I'm not too sure that "picturesque" is not synonymous to "ridiculous" in your excerpt, but it's also possible.
