La historia de España está marcada irremediablemente por la guerra civil. La historia del fotoperiodismo también, porque fue precisamente en la guerra civil cuando se dan las primeras muestras de un Fotoperiodismo de la Modernidad. Cientos de fotografías procedentes de una variada y al tiempo prestigiosa cantera de fotógrafos se apilan en los archivos fotográficos: algunas firmadas, otras no; algunas fotografían personas ilustres, otras sujetos anónimos. Pero quizá las fotografías que menos abundan entre todas estas imágenes que nos recuerdan el pasado con dolor, sean las fotografías que recogen los cuerpos yacentes de niños, mujeres y hombres que murieron durante la guerra.Proponemos a través de la revisión de las fotografías de difuntos y su análisis desde la estética, la retórica y la emoción, iniciar un proceso de “introyeción” de la guerra civil: un proceso por el cual el encuentro con la muerte en la propia imagen, sea el paso decisivo para cicatrizar las heridas de un tiempo que pertenece a nuestro pasado político, económico, social y sobre todo, emocional.
Abstract:
The Spanish civil war has determinated the History of Spain as well as the History of journalism, since it was precisely in the Civil War when the first signs of a modern photojournalism were shown. Hundreds of photos taken by several eminent photographers around the world, are stacked in photographic archives, waiting to be realized. Some of their authors are recognised, some of then not; some of them, portray well-known people, others not. Among all these stacked images, the pictures of dead bodies of children, men and women, who died during the war, are the least frequent. Those that remind us of the past with pain.
Throug reviewing the pictures of deceased and analysing from aesthetics, rhetorics and emotion, the aim of this paper is to begin a process of “introyection” of civil war: a process in which the encounter with death in images itself, allows us to heal the wounds of a time that belongs to our political, economic, social and mainly emotional past.Downloads
