Imágenes que vienen del pasado. Las fotografías de los llamados campos de concentración de la guerra en Colombia

Abstract

This paper examines the photographs that media and sectors of opinion named “the concentration camps of the FARC” in Colombia. Used as analogies of the Nazis concentration camps, these pictures published by the first time in October, 2000, were erected in “templates” of the unforgivable horror. The reflection raises how the narratives and the images of the media are constituted in vehicles with capacity to guide the memory not only of the past, but of the present and the future.
