| description | This article explores a series of contemporary photographic editorial devices constructed by means of archive images. We are interested in proposing three figurations (Haraway, 1999, 2017 & 2019) that define specific subjective modulations, by analyzing the strategies with which they configure a specific narrative matrix (Despret, 2021): the detective, the fugitive and the witness will be presented here through the respective analysis of Los órdenes del amor, by Lucila Penedo (2022), Querida Natacha, by Natacha Ebers (2020), and Nuestros códigos, by the Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina Collective (2023).
In order to construct these figurations we will start from three initial considerations: (a) the way in which these devices deploy the biographical dimension in public space and the practices of reading them, (b) the consideration of the photographic as an event (Azoullay, 2015), as an expanded temporality, and (c) the haptic dimension of the experience of contact with these editorial devices, understanding this dimension as that which enables an affective and sensorial experience with these materials (Bruno, 2019; Sedwick, 2018). |

This article explores a series of contemporary photographic editorial devices constructed by means of archive images. We are interested in proposing three figurations (Haraway, 1999, 2017 & 2019) that define specific subjective modulations, by analyzing the strategies with which they configure a specific narrative matrix (Despret, 2021): the detective, the fugitive and the witness will be presented here through the respective analysis of Los órdenes del amor, by Lucila Penedo (2022), Querida Natacha, by Natacha Ebers (2020), and Nuestros códigos, by the Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina Collective (2023). In order to construct these figurations we will start from three initial considerations: (a) the way in which these devices deploy the biographical dimension in public space and the practices of reading them, (b) the consideration of the photographic as an event (Azoullay, 2015), as an expanded temporality, and (c) the haptic dimension of the experience of contact with these editorial devices, understanding this dimension as that which enables an affective and sensorial experience with these materials (Bruno, 2019; Sedwick, 2018). El presente artículo indaga una serie de dispositivos editoriales fotográficos contemporáneos construidos con materiales visuales de archivo a partir de tres figuraciones (Haraway, 2017 y 2019) que definen modulaciones subjetivas específicas, estrategias con las que configuran una determinada matriz narrativa (Despret, 2021): la detective, la prófuga y la testigo serán presentadas aquí a través del respectivo análisis de Los órdenes del amor, de Lucila Penedo (2022), Querida Natacha, de Natacha Ebers (2020), y Nuestros códigos, del Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina (2023). Para llegar a construir estas figuraciones partiremos de tres consideraciones iniciales: (a) el modo en que estos dispositivos despliegan la dimensión biográfica desde el archivo hacia el espacio público y las prácticas de lectura que propician, (b) la consideración de lo fotográfico como evento (Azoullay, 2015), como temporalidad expandida, y (c) la dimensión háptica de la experiencia de contacto con los dispositivos editoriales, entendiendo esta dimensión como aquella que habilita una experiencia afectiva y sensorial con estos materiales (Bruno, 2019; Sedwick, 2018).
