| description | The article critically addresses the use of media images and visual strategies in the construction of protest narratives during socio-environmental conflicts in Chile. It analyzes the portraits of three activists –Alejandro Castro, Macarena Valdés, and Camilo Catrillanca– whose images were transformed into symbols of denunciation and resistance. Using a methodological approach based on inductive analysis and social semiotics, the research identifies visual resources that reshape the meaning of these faces in protests, street art, and digital media. The theoretical framework, grounded in framing theory, helps to understand how media, families, and social actors reinterpret these images to challenge dominant narratives and expose injustice. The activists’ portraits serve as icons that strengthen the struggle for socio-environmental justice, undermine the credibility of official accounts, and highlight tensions between state power and social movements. |

Se analizan los retratos de tres activistas –Alejandro Castro, Macarena Valdés y Camilo Catrillanca– cuyas imágenes fueron transformadas en símbolos de denuncia y resistencia. A través de un enfoque metodológico que combina análisis inductivo y semiótica social, se identifican los recursos visuales que reconfiguran el significado de estos rostros en manifestaciones, arte callejero y medios digitales. El marco teórico, basado en la teoría del encuadre, permite comprender cómo medios, familiares y actores sociales utilizan estas imágenes para disputar el discurso hegemónico y visibilizar injusticias. Los retratos de los activistas se constituyen como íconos que fortalecen la lucha por la justicia socioambiental, cuestionan la legitimidad del relato oficial y revelan los conflictos entre el poder estatal y los movimientos sociales.Este estudo aborda criticamente o uso de imagens midiáticas e estratégias visuais na construção de narrativas de protesto durante conflitos socioambientais no Chile. São examinados os retratos de três ativistas –Alejandro Castro, Macarena Valdés e Camilo Catrillanca– cujas imagens foram transformadas em símbolos de resistência e denúncia. A partir de uma abordagem metodológica baseada na análise indutiva e na semiótica social, identificam-se os recursos visuais que ressignificam esses rostos em protestos, arte de rua e mídias digitais. O referencial teórico, ancorado na teoria do enquadramento, mostra como mídias, familiares e atores sociais utilizam essas imagens para contestar o discurso hegemônico e tornar visíveis as injustiças. Os retratos dos ativistas tornaram-se ícones que fortalecem a luta por justiça socioambiental, desafiam a legitimidade das versões oficiais e evidenciam tensões entre o poder estatal e os movimentos sociais.Universidad ORT Uruguay2025-10-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://revistas.ort.edu.uy/inmediaciones-de-la-comunicacion/article/view/409810.18861/ic.2025.20.2.4098http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11968/7684InMediaciones de la Comunicación; Vol. 20 Núm. 2 (2025)InMediaciones de la Comunicación; v. 20 n. 2 (2025)1688-86261510-509110.18861/ic.2025.20.2reponame:RADinstname:Universidad ORT Uruguayinstacron:Universidad ORTspahttps://revistas.ort.edu.uy/inmediaciones-de-la-comunicacion/article/view/4098/4602https://revistas.ort.edu.uy/inmediaciones-de-la-comunicacion/article/view/4098/4615https://revistas.ort.edu.uy/inmediaciones-de-la-comunicacion/article/view/4098/4616http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:rad.ort.edu.uy:20.500.11968/76842026-06-16T04:09:50Z |
