| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article analyzes a set of images of the Arab-Israeli conflict, published in 1947–67 by the Italian newspapers Unità (the communist party) and Avanti! (the socialist party), in an attempt to deconstruct the messages hidden behind these photographs and challenge the dichotomies on which the visual narrations of these periodicals were based. The general thesis is that these photographs were not meant to portray the actual reality of the conflict but rather to further political interests that had little to do with it. |
