Photography Off Limits

This chapter considers how photojournalists for independent magazines resisted and even mocked military censorship under Pinochet’s dictatorship. Whenever these publications became too blatant in their criticism of the dictatorship, DINACOS responded with stricter forms of censorship, culminating in a total ban on images in 1984. The 1984 ban, which affected the magazines Análisis, Apsi, and Cauce and the newspaper Fortín Mapocho, prompted editors to devise ways not only to convey what the censored, absent images would have depicted, but also to make visible the violence intrinsic in the ban itself. Even though they did remove the actual photographs, they kept referring to them as if they were visible on the surface of the page. The chapter also considers protests carried out in opposition to the ban and Pinochet.
