| Sumario: | This article offers a first exploration of the visuality produced by the Comisión Nacional Campesina (CNC), the articulating element of the rural union sector during the dictatorship in Chile, from an infrastructural perspective. The questions that this research attempts to answer are: what role does visuality as an infrastructure play in the organizational, educational and reporting tasks of the CNC? What kinds of images are (re)produced and disseminated, to whom are they directed, what ways of seeing do they enable, and what ways of seeing do they challenge or contend with? And also, what place does the visual memory of the historical Agrarian Reform process (1964-1973) occupy in the construction of this visuality? Based on the analysis of a set of printed and audiovisual materials, the article sheds light on the reactivation of the visual memory of the historical RA at a time when the ruling political class, the land-owning oligarchy and the press media adept at the regime focus on questioning it and erasing it from public debate. The study also elucidates the link between the discourse of rural and environmental health as a form of resistance and as a tool of unitary organization, a topic rarely studied from a visual perspective in the Chilean context. |
