Barbara Kruger’s works are composed of recovered images to which the artist adds short texts that alter their meaning. With these works, which resemble real "manifestos", Barbara Kruger intends to provoke a reflection on some social issues and on the most widespread clichés of modern society, always finding a synthesis halfway between the initial smug smile and the final inexorable awareness. Thanks to the collection of information on the American artist, it is possible for students to experiment with a relationship between words and images that is functional to the expression of a personal elaboration, creating contrasting and incisive combinations to reflect on stereotypes related to the female world.

Se analiza el reflejo de las visitas a tres bibliotecas de la Red de Bibliotecas Públicas de Andalucía, realizadas entre noviembre de 2014 y agosto de 2015 en las ciudades de Almería, Cádiz y Huelva, en el blog "Caçadores de bibliotecas". Las visitas se realizaron con el objetivo de conocer los espacios y servicios de estos centros y generar reflexiones en el citado blog, concebido como un espacio virtual que presenta registros informativos de centros bibliotecarios y otros espacios culturales en diferentes ciudades, con el objetivo de visibilizar la labor desarrollada por los profesionales bibliotecarios. Asimismo se reflexiona sobre las motivaciones que llevan a realizar este trabajo y se reflexiona sobre el uso de la fotografía como un medio para acercar a los ciudadanos a las bibliotecas.

In order to deepen the knowledge of the landscape assessment methods and their applicability to the landscape of the highways, in this work we have applied two different methodologies designed to evaluate the landscape quality which can be seen from many Spanish motorways. The first is a map-based approach which considers only the physical characteristics of the territory, while the second is based on an assessment of the attributes present in photographs. A study of each of the landscape attributes separately has allowed us to analyze the differences obtained. The conclusion was that differences were due to the presence of attributes that can only be identified using the method based on an assessment of the attributes present in photographs. The study highlights the complementarities between both methods: the in situ method is suited to landscape studies requiring a greater degree of accuracy, as it awards values to attributes which can only be seen by visiting the place in question; whereas the map-based method is more suited for use in studies involving large territories.

This article discusses the photographic representation of the political campaigns in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1877, with a particular focus on the works of photographer Antonio Pozzo. The author comments on the influence of the satirical newspaper "El Mosquito," which featured jokes on the political conditions and actors during the 1870s. The development of caricature and the use of parodic photographic images in such political publications is examined and the utilization of photography in political campaigns is also explored.

The article presents an analysis of the work of three 20th century Argentine photographers with respect to their revelations of the modernization process in the province of Chaco, Argentina. The photos of Juan Bautista Simoni, Pablo Boschetti and Pedro Luis Raota are discussed within the context of the artistic movement of imaginismo as well as in terms of their regional historical and cultural significance.
