| الوصف: | This research was supported by Project RTI2018-098181-A-I00, funded by: FEDER/Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación-Agencia Estatal de Investigación; and by the Fundació Grífols under funding provided through its 2020 research grants in bioethics for the project ‘Ethics of images of illness, death and grief in the time of Covid-19’. ; Covid-19 is the first pandemic to be broadcast and photographed as it happens worldwide. However, despite the plethora of images on countless aspects of the pandemic, few media images have covered its more sensitive issues, such as the collapse of the healthcare system, the process of dying alone, or the disruption to funeral rites and mourning. Consequently, the visual narratives of the pandemic are biased. They lack images that show its more dramatic aspects. This affects not only how the public perceives and reacts to Covid-19, but also the visual evidence that will remain for historical memory in the future. With one of the world’s highest case rates and most stringent states of emergency, Spain offers an interesting case study to analyse the pandemic’s photographic narratives and its missing images during lockdown. This paper focuses on the presence or absence of images dealing with illness, death, dying and grief, as well as their ways of representation. It delves into the framing of particular visual narratives through an analysis of the images that appeared in Spain’s leading newspapers, together with semi-structured interviews conducted with renowned photojournalists who worked on the front line to document Covid-19 during lockdown. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion |
