Recompose the Landscape: Evidence and Denounce

Abstract
The investigation states that the landscape was repetitive in the visual testimonies of the Chilean military dictatorship. By landscape it comprises a visual, political and cultural construction, which gives space-reference density to the memory accounts. In this context, we distinguish a struggle of meanings: first, authoritarianism instrumented the landscape to convey the subterranean values and promoted the legitimacy of the regime. At the same time, the resistance generated denotative landscapes, in an accusatory-testimony key, which materialized in endless means. Specifically, a corpus composed of arpilleras and drawings in prison will be examined. Beyond its specificities, we propose that one of the main functions that brings together both sets is its use as a device of evidence and denunciation. Thus, we will try to recompose part of the dissident landscape by weaving together certain images that account for the spatial substrate of the events.
