Comunicación y memoria: el fotoperiodismo como testigo de la violencia. Fuentes documentales de la Guerra Civil Española (1936-1939)

Abstract

Throughout the Spanish Civil war (1936-1939) photojournalism meets its known as Golden Age, specially because of mythical photographers such as Robert Capa or Gerda Taro. However, it is also owing to the work of Spanish photographers whose work was concealed by the dictatorship because of their truly commitment with the republican cause. Their memory, their work, started to be appreciate only after Franco's death and only once the democracy finally arrived to our country. Thus, we will see face-to-face the new documentary sources of information about foreign photojurnalism versus the Spanish big-unknown photographers, they were who inmortalized the main battles and the inocent victims of the war.
