Seeing Witness: Visuality and the Ethics of Testimony, by Jane Blocker.
Here, "idiom" is a reference not only to Spanish, the language in which the book was published, but also to the Mexican visual language represented by the prints, an acknowledgement of the particular importance of visuality in post-revolution Mexican culture and political persuasion.
Key to this analysis is the discussion of the concepts of visuality and hapticality, and Henri Lefebvre's concepts of absolute spaces--"space as 'lived'" (51), and abstract spaces--"space as 'conceived'" (51).
