Printed Photography and Propaganda in The Portuguese Estado Novo
Filomena Serra (Ed.)
Through montage and photomontage, printed photography under Portuguese
Estado Novo explored the narrative and connotative potential of the
image in different printed media, becoming highly significant both in
the official propaganda and in the discourses of those opposed to the
regime. The reader will find a set of selected publications from the
late 1920s to the 1970s, organised in four thematic chapters
transversal. We have given priority to information regarding the
authorship of the photographs, drawings, illustrations, texts and other
informative elements, with the aim of offering a contextualised
synthesis of the public and historical dimension of this printed
photographic culture, always with a view on the dialogue between text
and image.
