The concept of territory for institutional management of photographic heritage on human rights: the case of the National Archive of Memory (Argentina)

ABSTRACT The essay seeks to discuss the concept of territory as the structuring base of the holdings lines of institutions dedicated to the management of photographic documents. Such definition is fundamental for those institutions accomplish, with quality, their role in the consolidation and preservation on a specific photographic heritage territory. It is important to point out that such a conception does not necessarily imply the establishment of geographical borders, rather, they depend on the symbolic - and, of course, political - conformation of a documentary set and its relations with society. In concrete terms, the essay discusses the institutional conformation of the National Archive of Memory, in Argentina, and its photographic documentary holdings, analyzed from the point of view of their contextual characteristics and their relationship with the territory of human rights.

摘要：本文旨在探讨“领地”（territory）作为摄影文献管理机构馆藏体系的构建基础这一概念。该定义对于相关机构高质量地履行其在特定摄影遗产领域的整合与保护职能具有基础性意义。需指出的是，这一概念并不必然意味着地理边界的划定，而是取决于文献集合的符号化建构——当然也包括政治化建构——及其与社会的关系。具体而言，本文以阿根廷国家记忆档案馆及其摄影文献馆藏为研究对象，从其语境特征及其与人权领域的关联视角展开分析。
