Agitation in the streets. Political violence in the Spanish Transition through photojournalism
Abstract
During the Spanish Transition (1975-1982) a sector of society, made up of citizen movements, neighborhood associations and extreme left parties, used the street as a place of protest and demand for democratic rights. The response of the State, still anchored in the Francoist structures, will be police repression. Faced with this new reality, photojournalism will become a privileged witness who will know how to capture events with a clear awareness of their historical significance. Three exceptional circumstances contributed to this: a golden age of magazines with political-social content, the appearance of new newspapers and a new generation of photojournalists.
