Abstract
This paper analyzes the photographic series Chaco 1978 by Pedro Luis Raota, as part of the photographic practice during the last military dictatorship in Argentina. The images of the series are understood as agents of a visual policy project of construction / presentation of the province of Chaco in both the national and provincial propaganda context. The linkages between the photographic production of Raota and the discourse and ideology of the last Argentine military dictatorship are explored, with the purpose of dismantling the production and circulation strategies of the series. That in turn allows us to rethink the “Chaco can” slogan established by the Provincial Government and its relationship with the national policy of “Refounding the Nation.”
