NIETO, María Emilia. Representing, documenting and hurting: the photographic archive of Adelina Dematti de Alaye-Madre de Plaza de Mayo. Índex [online]. 2021, n.12, pp.116-132. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.vi12.440.

This article explores the relationship between photography and memory through the photographic archive of Adelina Dematti de Alaye, Mother of Plaza de Mayo- Línea Fundadora (foundress line). Based on the analysis of a photographic corpus of her personal archive, the paper analyzes the link that this woman, teacher, photographer and Mother of Plaza de Mayo, established with photography as a way of documenting, as a self-representation and as support for mourning, in the face of the extreme experience of the forced disappearance of a child. These dimensions show the character of resistance that the practice of photography acquired, as well as illuminate other senses of it.

Keywords : memory; archive; photography; Madres de Plaza de Mayo.
