Through montage and photomontage, printed photography under Portuguese Estado Novo explored the narrative and connotative potential of the image in different printed media, becoming highly significant both in the official propaganda and in the discourses of those opposed of the regime. The reader will find a set of selected publications from the late 1920s to the 1970s, organised in four thematic chapters transversal in their issues: "Performative Representations"; "Material Achievements"; "Rethorics of the Body" and "counter discourses and Counter-images", with the final chapter including the uneven counter-propaganda aimed at the regime.
