Imagery narratives: a visual churchyards thinking

Abstract

This paper discusses the significance of the photographic image and its relationship to research in the communication area. From authors such as Didi-Huberman, Fontcuberta, Wagner and others, addresses issues of veracity that remains central to the photographic act, as a shaper of incomplete stories stored in files at the churchyards of thought and its return to the show, to material reality. It tries to think politically about one of the major issues of our time: the politics of representation in a destabilized and hypermediated world and the problems in being accepted as intellectual production in Brazil.
