The show of violence in the current Mexico: from femicide to young people

Abstract

Images of violence began to cover the map of Mexican territory from 2006, after former President Felipe Calderón declared the so-called ‘War against Drug Trafficking’. The carcasses multiplied. Some opened the clandestine pits or ‘disappeared’. Others appeared in public places forcing citizens to live together with horror. Photographs of mutilated bodies returned daily. However, the show of violence in Mexico was inaugurated since the 90s with the serious murders of women in Ciudad Juárez and other cities in the north of the country. Femicide opened an expressive dimension of violence, which then moved to other subjects. In this article, I analyse the specificities and continuities of violence in Mexico from the visual point of view: What are the visible and invisible continuities between these forms of violence? Which control devices do you follow?
