| Sumario: | The article is an iconographic essay on the motif of the dismembered body. Due to the ubiquitous presence of images of dismembered bodies in the Mexican media, the author analyses the meanings this motif has conveyed, in order to understand the way images of dismemberment operate to produce an emotional reaction in the viewer. Influenced by the methods of the science of the image in German Scholarship (Bildwissenschaft), the article advances the application of an iconographical method to address the way images of violence operate. |
