Abstract

This research aims to analyze the representations of imaginary Argentine politicians during the years 1973 and 1984, by means of propaganda posters produced in the period. These years select a turbulent period in Argentine history, the Peronist government (1973) and the military government of the National Reorganization Process (1976-1983), in which the political positions is stoked on behalf of projects for the nation and, after violent and systematic repression of the dictatorship generated sensible changes in the form of political action. The choice of the poster as a source for analysis of historical research gives for this is set up as a vehicle for the dissemination and circulation of messages ephemeral, but which has the potential to reach large numbers of people. This source comprises an element rich representations of the political imaginary, the visions and conceptions of the future and criticisms and concerns that their groups drafters wished to disseminate to a wide audience. Visual sources allow any number of inferences, mobilize symbolic elements, cultural, political, historical, national and universal, always sharing with its observer representational references to finally fulfill its role of communicating a message designed by their makers. In this research, the analysis of the posters attempts to revisit a period of Argentine history and troubled by these means, to rebuild part of the political imaginary of the period. (AU)
