In this essay I will propose an historical analysis of the visual discourse of the Mexican guerrilla movement Zapatista Army for National Liberation (EZLN). I argue that this discourse should be understood as a creation of a collective imaginary of the “militant subject” inscribed in a long national and Latin American guerrilla tradition. Starting with an iconological analysis of a series of photographs taken from the book “Corte de Caja” (Castellanos and Trabulsi, 2008), I'll indicate a number of problems concerning the use of images as a source (or “testimony”), with the aim to re- construct the historical genealogy of the EZLN. Keywords: guerrilla, EZLN, Latin America, visual discourse, genealogy.

A partir del análisis iconológico de un conjunto de fotografías del libro Corte de Caja (Castellanos y Trabulsi, 2008), señalaré una serie de problemas que nos pueden ayudar a usar las imágenes como fuentes (como “testimonios”) con el fin de re-construir la genealogía histórica del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN). Palabras claves: guerrilla, EZLN, America Latina, discurso visual, genealogía.Downloads
