(2021) MHIA22 20211Department of Communication and Media
- Abstract
- This paper examines the visual representations about Mexico's socio-political transitions displayed in two photo-essays of Life Magazine in 1938 and 1939 respectively. It attempts to focus on the analysis of the photographs in light of their historical context to examine how the American society has represented Mexico and constructed a mediated reality through Life magazine's photo-essays.
