During the country's most recent civic-military dictatorship (1976-1983), 30,000 people were disappeared or killed by the state. Over the decades, vernacular and professional photographs have been central to the Argentine struggle for justice. They were used not only to protest the disappearances under the dictatorship and to denounce the authorities, but also as tools of political and social activism, and for remembering the disappeared. With contributions from leading Argentina-based anthropologists, ethnographers, curators, art scholars, media researchers, and photographers, Familiar Faces moves beyond the traditional considerations of representation, focusing instead on the ways in which photography is continuously reimagined as a tool of memory, mourning, and political and judicial activism. In so doing, it considers the diverse uses of press photography; artistic practice; photographs of the disappeared in domestic rituals; photographs of the inmates of torture centers; the reclamation of images taken by the dictatorial state for memorial and activist purposes."-- Intimate moments, public acts: Argentina's long relationship with the photographs of the disappeared / Piotr Cieplak -- Constructing the image of the mothers of Plaza de Mayo through press photography / Cora Gamarnik ; translated by Jorge Salvetti -- Ways of looking: violence, archive and the register of "extremists" / María Eleonora Cristina in conversation with Piotr Cieplak -- Political landscapes and photographic artefacts in post-dictatorship Argentina / Natalia Fortuny ; translated by…
