Abstract
This thesis analyzes the visual construction of the victims in the Colombian armed conflict, between 1990 and 2015, based on the works –documentary photographs- of Jesús Abad Colorado and Álvaro Cardona. It is a path, in relation to showing the victims in photography, that starts from the analysis of the different series of images, always in dialogue with others photographs, the Colombian armed conflict’s historical contexts and the testimonies of the victims. And conceptually following the thesis planted by some authors such as George Didi-Huberman (2004, 2011, 2018), Jacques Rancière (2008, 2013), Judith Butler (2003, 2010), Harun Farocki (2015), among others.
This research combines Visual Theory tools with a Social Science work on the discourses around each image, their historical, social and cultural contexts of production and circulation. Thus, this thesis asks about the visual resources and production conditions of these photographs to understand what are the views they offer on the political violence of Colombia, and what way these images allow evokations of torture, disappearances, murders and other acts perpetrated in the midst of an internal armed conflict.
The analysis focuses on the photographs taken by Jesús Abad Colorado between 1990 and 2015, compiled in his book Mirar de la vida profunda (2015), and in other publications such as the one made by the Centro Nacional de Memoria Histórica, ¡Basta ya! Colombia: Memorias de guerra y dignidad (2013). In addition, in the photographic works of Álvaro Cardona made with disappeared persons’ relatives in the north of Santander and with the mothers of Soacha: P adre, hijo y espíritu armado (2012) and Á rbol adentro (2013 and 2014).
