Throughout history, ruins have represented the traces of fallen empires and post-battle landscapes. Progressively, with the urbanization of the world, there are more and more ruins which are the result of rapid construction that leaves visible traces: viewed from the air they resemble metastases, or scars. Such ruins become garbage, remains that are derived from intensive exploitation of the territory based on the rationale of the accumulation of capital, rather than the interests of the general public or environmental sustainability. Many television reports, movies and photographic works have addressed the visual motif of ruins in the context of the crisis that began in 2008. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the ongoing reflection on the issue, by examining various nonfiction titles that were published after the Auken Report (2009). My objective is to show the abundance of audiovisual representations which, apart from the testimonies, have served as criticisms of the Spanish development model from an environmental perspective and the marked inequality that this model generates.

Harry Truman’s succession to the United States presidency upon Franklin Roosevelt’s death in 1945 thrust an obscure and inexperienced politician into the center of one of the 20th century’s most critical historical moment: the final months of World War II, as the United States was preparing to deploy nuclear weapons for the first time. Truman’s clear unequalness (in both image and substance) to the tasks at hand, in juxtaposition with the epic scale of the tasks themselves, provides a unique exposure of the illusory nature of presidential authority in the Nuclear Age. Using Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan as a means of delineating the theory and image of political sovereignty, this essay examines three distinct moments from the early days of Truman’s administration that serve to elucidate the absence of presidential power and control that continues to this day to underlie the media apparatus that defines the American presidency.
