Abstract

Based on the analysis of two pictures taken to Guillermo Gallo, Rector of the National University of La Plata (UNLP), during the last military-civic dictatorship, we see the role of the image as an instrument that not only shows a specific message of authority and order against the subversives groups, but also naturalizes and justifies the repressive action towards the society. In both photos, we will focus on the civic complicity to the military groups, not only on the media role, but also Gallo himself as Rector of the UNLP.
