Primeiramente abordando as principais discussões que se aninharam em torno dela, salientando o componente mítico-alegórico que a percorre, e, depois, divisando e discutindo, na forma de ensaios, alguns motivos e aspectos particulares às suas imagens. Estão em debate sua ruptura com o documentarismo clássico; os pontos de inflexão de sua carreira e de seu estilo representativo; o exercício irônico de sua fotografia; a criação de um universo próprio, a filiação com o carnavalesco; a presença renitente de fantasias e máscaras em seu trabalho ¿tanto no sentido estrito (como referentes) como no sentido metafórico¿; sua faceta paródica; os traços relativos à ambiência de suas imagens; e, por fim, seu percurso biográfico e profissional / Abstract: This work attempts to investigate the oeuvre of the photographer Diane Arbus (1923-1971). Firstly focusing on the main discussions that surrounded her, emphasizing the mythic and allegoric component that traverses her work and, subsequently, descrying and discussing, in the form of essays, some peculiar motifs and aspects of her images. We debate the rupture with the classic documentarism; the points of inflexion of her career and of her representative style; the ironic exercise of her photography; the creation of a particular universe, the filiations with the carnivalesque; the renitent presence of fancy dresses and masks in her work -as much in the strict meaning (as referents) as in the metaphoric sense-; her parodistic facet; the traits relating to her images¿s ambience; and, at last, her biographic and professional journey / Mestrado / Multimeios / Mestre em Multimeios
