This paper examines the Spanish Civil War photographs of Agustí Centelles i Ossó (1909-1985) a Spanish exile and photographer whose archive was recovered after the Franco’s dictatorship and whose work has been compared to Robert Capa. The paper addresses the 2009 NCA Convention theme--discourses of stability and change--by reading the archive in context of shifting discursive formations about history and memory.
