This article analyses the visual figuration of children during the Chilean Popular Unity government (1970–1973) in a diverse archive of photographs, posters, album covers, magazines, and comics. First, it reads the realist representation of children in photography, which emphasises the dramatics of poverty as a form of establishing a photographic “civil contract” (Azoulay, The Civil Contract of Photography, 2008). Second, it interprets posters and texts concerning the Allende government’s Plan de Leche (Milk Plan) as an affirmative biopolitics. It concludes by showing that the children on illustrated posters are the idealised version of childhood projected by adults as a way of imagining a coming community.

智利人民团结政府时期的儿童与印刷视觉文化

本文分析了智利人民团结政府（1970-1973 年）期间儿童在各种照片、海报、专辑封面、杂志和漫画档案中的视觉形象。首先，它解读了摄影中儿童的现实主义表现，强调贫困的戏剧性作为建立摄影“民事合同”的一种形式（Azoulay，摄影的民事合同，2008）。其次，它将有关阿连德政府的Plan de Leche（牛奶计划）的海报和文字解释为一种肯定的生命政治。最后，它表明插图海报上的儿童是成年人作为想象未来社区的一种方式所投射的童年的理想化版本。
