Paper Summary:

This paper reviews two famous photographs of Elian Gonzalez: Being taken from the Miami home of his distant relatives by an armed federal agent and then being reunited with his father in Maryland. The author feels that these photographs reveal the ideological function of the photographic image. This paper appraises Walter Hamilton?s article "Markets Regain Some Ground, but Worries Remain", in which the unpredictability of the stock market is reflected in the roller-coaster nature of the article itself.

From the Paper:

"The two photographs, representing terrible emotional and physical turbulence on the one hand (the "taking of Elian"), and overflowing joy and happiness on the other (the reuniting of father and son), were images of the possible culmination of a five-month-long saga since the boy's rescue from the sea by two fisherman. Add in the death of the boy's mother and a number of others on the escape from Cuba, the struggle between Juan the father and the "distant relatives," as well as the historical enmity between the governments of Castro's Cuba and the United States, and the photographs' tremendous ideological weight begins to become clear.
