Drawing on the theoretical contributions proposed by Leonor Arfuch, who aims to see the world through different eyes, and establishing a connection between violence, power, culture, and media, a brief discursive analysis is presented —based on Volóshinov’s Marxist and socio-historical perspective and his use of utterances as units of analysis— of five images that had a significant global impact and continue to be part of culture and memory in present times. Findings reveal that the analyzed images not only captured crucial moments in contemporary history but also played a fundamental role in shaping public opinion and global awareness on diverse issues such as wars, migrations, and humanitarian crises, phenomena directly relevant to international studies. El presente artículo propone pensar las imágenes y su impacto a nivel global a partir del análisis de fotografías icónicas que quedaron en el imaginario de las sociedades occidentales de los siglos XX y XXI. A partir de los aportes teóricos propuestos por Leonor Arfuch, quien pretende mirar el mundo con otros ojos, y realizando una vinculación entre violencia, poder, cultura y medios, se presenta un breve análisis discursivo —a partir de la perspectiva marxista y sociohistórica de Voloshinov y su utilización de enunciados como unidades de análisis— de cinco imágenes que tuvieron gran impacto global y que en tiempos presentes continúan siendo parte de la cultura y la memoria. Como hallazgos, se destaca que las imágenes analizadas no solo han capturado momentos cruciales de la historia contemporánea, sino que también han desempeñado un papel fundamental en la configuración de la opinión pública y la conciencia global sobre temas tan diversos como las guerras, las migraciones y las crisis humanitarias, fenómenos que atañen directamente a los estudios internacionales.

This article proposes to consider images and their impact on a global scale, based on the analysis of iconic photographs that have remained in the collective unconscious of western societies in the 20th and 21st centuries. Drawing on the theoretical contributions proposed by Leonor Arfuch, who aims to see the world through different eyes, and establishing a connection between violence, power, culture, and media, a brief discursive analysis is presented —based on Volóshinov’s Marxist and socio-historical perspective and his use of utterances as units of analysis— of five images that had a significant global impact and continue to be part of culture and memory in present times.
