Abstract

This article makes a contribution on photo - documentary archives in
the steel industry as a source of knowledge and sociological tool. It
deals with the case of documentary photo archive Altos Hornos de
Vizcaya and Altos Hornos del Mediterráneo in Sagunto (Puerto) between
1944 and 1976. The article discusses the need to analyze the role of
company photographers and his role as "rapporteurs" of labor and
social discourse of the company. We analyze the photographic archive
as "artifact of power" with a narrative structure and autonomous with
functionality within the industrial process related to the generation of a
structure of symbolic and identity discourses.
