Abstract

We started this work with the initial aim of considering photography as a document, as a track that allows us to deal with the past from the present times. We understand that photographs work as modes and operations of resistance that are expressed in the forms of image representation. We selected three images form the archive of the Association of Photojournalists of Argentina (ARGRA) in which we perceive an act of resistance. Each image was part of a group of photographs shown inthe exhibitions that ARGRA has been holding, year after year, since 1981. The selected photographs are UNESCO 1979, by Aldo Amura, exhibition of 1981; Testigo de un ajuste [Witness of an adjustement], by Jorge E. Sánchez, exhibited in 1989, and Hospital en paro [Hospital strike], by Federico Guastavino, presented in 2005.
