• Resumen

  • The aim of this article is to analyse the role that images have played in the Catalan conflict, using the pictures produced in the days surrounding the independence referendum in Barcelona as a case study. As part of an ongoing research agenda on the role of images in social media, our goal is to develop a framework for the analysis of visual practices on social media in the course of creating and re-signifying images. The pictures analysed were taken in the Ramon Llull Primary School during the days of 1 October 2017 and 3 October 2017.
