Socolow and Lyman L. Johnson PrizeThe role of documentary photography in exposing and protesting the crimes of a dictatorshipAfter Augusto Pinochet rose to power in Chile in 1973, his government abducted, abused, and executed thousands of his political opponents. The Insubordination of Photography is the first book to analyze how various collectives, organizations, and independent media used photography to expose and protest the crimes of Pinochets authoritarian regime.ngeles Donoso Macaya discusses the ways human rights groups such as the Vicariate of Solidarity used portraits of missing persons in order to make forced disappearances visible. She also calls attention to forensic photographs that served as incriminating evidence of government killings in the landmark Lonqun case. Donoso Macaya argues that the field of documentary photography in Chile was challenged and shaped by the precariousness of the nations politics and economics and shows how photojournalists found creative ways to challenge limitations imposed on the freedom of the press.In a culture saturated by disinformation and coverups and restricted by repression and censorship, photography became an essential tool to bring the truth to light. Featuring neverbeforeseen photographs and other archival material, this book reflects on the integral role of images in public memory and issues of reparation and justice.A volume in the series Reframing Media, Technology, and Culture in Latin/o America, edited by Hctor Fernndez LHoeste and Juan Carlos Rodrguez
