BETTENDORFF, María Elsa. La imagen vigilante: acerca de la fotografía policial como instrumento del poder. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2021, n.96, pp.107-122.  Epub 01-Out-2021. ISSN 1853-3523.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi96.3931.

Incorporated into the surveillance device of the State Repressive Apparatus, the character of evidence or evidence of the photographs of the police archives is the product of an institutional construction that converts into knowing what is initially perceived as the imprint of an event. In this article we are dedicated, precisely, to examine the functionality of this genre of images within the Directorate of Intelligence of the Police of the Province of Buenos -DIPBA- in the period 1962-1973. We also propose the concept of “scopic memory” to account for the way of seeing / showing / knowing proper to the institution in relation to its photographic production.
