Memorials, art installations, photo-essays, street projections, and documentary films are all considered as media for the reframing of these archival images from the era of the Cold War dictatorships in Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, and Uruguay. While the turn of the millennium was supposedly marked by “the end of history” and, with the advent of digital technologies, by “the end of photography,” these works served to interrupt and hence, belie the dominant narrative on both counts. Indeed, the book's overarching contention is that the viewer’s affective identification with distant suffering when engaging these artworks is equally \u003ci\u003einterrupted\u003c\/i\u003e: instead, the viewer is invited to apprehend memorial images as emblems of national and international histories of ideological struggle.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDavid Rojinsky\u003c\/b\u003e is a UK-based independent researcher specialising in Latin American and Iberian visual cultures.
