Ensayo sobre el movimiento estudiantil de 1968

This text is part of an investigation that recounts the episodes of the student movement in 1968 in Mexico City presented from a distant perspective; the one that has to do with the use and manipulation of photographs that constructed one of the most important cultural imaginaries of the country in the last 4 decades. The author analyzes the published photographs in the diverse newspapers and magazines in 1968, the censored unpublished images of the media, the photographic archives of noted independent photographers like Rodrigo Moya who carefully kept his negatives all these years, and the unique images taken by the Mexican Intelligence Services and the government of Mexico City used to assign legal responsibilities against students protagonists of the movement.
