The Brasília of Marcel Gautherot: the sliding of the photographs on the new capital construction published by Veja

Abstract

This work show how Veja magazine changed the purpose of the images of french photographer Marcel Gautherot about the Brasilia, reducing them of documental to merely illustrative. That is, through captions and titless, the periodic assigns them different meanings. The six analyzed photographs were published in special edition of the magazine, dedicated to 50th anniversary of Brasilia, which was circulated in November 2009. To sustain the study, were used theoretical frameworks on the magazine, photography, photographer, and the relationships between text and image.
