Viewing Photography In Post-dictatorship Latin America Visual Interruptions 1

This Book Examines The Archival Aesthetic Of Mourning And Memory Developed By Latin American Artists And Photographers Between 1997-2016. Particular Attention Is Paid To How Photographs Of The Assassinated Or Disappeared Political Dissident Of The 1970s And 1980s, As Found In Family Albums And In Official Archives, Were Not Only Re-imagined As Conduits For Private Mourning, But Also Became Allegories Of Social Trauma And The Struggle Against Socio-political Amnesia. Memorials, Art Installations, Photo-essays, Street Projections, And Documentary Films Are All Considered As Media For The Reframing Of These Archival Images From The Era Of The Cold War Dictatorships In Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, And Uruguay.
