Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Currently, despite the iconographic language be disseminated through images, students in all segments are struggling to read, interpret and correlate images, especially photography, which are constantly used in textbooks, newspapers and magazines printed or virtual. The documentary photography in addition to register important historical moments provides the critical reflection of what is recorded. In this way, it was elaborated and applied a didactic project with students of the 9th year of School Unit Municipal School of Swallow in order to provide visual literacy from documentary photographic images. It was chosen as corpus of research some images/photos of photographer Sebastião Salgado for his work to prioritize a reflection about social ills. The research is based from the grammar of Visual Design of Kress and van Leween (1996) that lists aspects of an image that can be analyzed carefully. Was also of fundamental importance the gender studies of Baktin (2011), Marchuschi (2008), Dionysus (2011), among others. Given this, the present research was used in the first moment of a bibliographical research in order to provide justification for consistent, especially in relation to the semiotic studies with knowledge and deepening of the grammar of visual design (GDV) so that it could analyze the photographs chosen semiologicamente. The second step took place through action research, i.e. the analysis done in the light of the theory was put into practice through the application of lesson plans arranged in a didactic project, which culminated in a pedagogical sketchbook containing simplified explanations regarding GDV and the pedagogical project step-by-step with guidelines for the teacher. / Atualmente, apesar da linguagem iconográfica ser disseminada por meio de imagens, os alunos em todos os segmentos tem dificuldade em ler, interpretar e correlacionar imagens, principalmente a fotografia, que constantemente são usados nos livros didáticos, jornais e revistas impressas ou virtuais. A fotografia documental além de registrar momentos históricos importantes proporciona a reflexão crítica daquilo que é registrado. Dessa forma, foi elaborado e aplicado um projeto didático com alunos do 9º ano da Unidade Escolar Colégio Municipal de Andorinha com o intuito de proporcionar o letramento visual a partir de imagens fotográficas documentais. Foi escolhido como corpus da pesquisa algumas imagens/fotos do fotógrafo Sebastião Salgado por seu trabalho priorizar uma reflexão a respeito das mazelas sociais. A pesquisa está fundamentada a partir da Gramática do Design Visual de Kress e van Leween (1996) que elenca os aspectos de uma imagem que podem ser analisados criteriosamente. Também foi de fundamental importância os estudos de gênero de Baktin (2011), Marchuschi (2008), Dionísio (2011), dentre outros. Diante disso, a presente pesquisa utilizou-se no primeiro momento de uma pesquisa bibliográfica com o intuito de fundamentação consistente, principalmente em relação aos estudos semióticos com o conhecimento e aprofundamento da gramática do design visual (GDV) para que pudesse analisar semiologicamente as fotografias escolhidas. O segundo passo se deu por meio da pesquisa-ação, ou seja, as análises feitas à luz da teoria foram colocadas em prática por meio da aplicação de planos de aula organizadas em um projeto didático que culminou em um caderno pedagógico contendo explicações simplificadas a respeito da GDV e o passo a passo do projeto pedagógico com orientações para o professor.

Cette thèse est consacrée aux questions de réception et d'institutionnalisation de la photographie documentaire et de la photographie de reportage à partir de 1937 jusqu'aux années 1970 au Museum of Modem Art (MoMA) de New York. Le premier chapitre revient sur la genèse et les enjeux de l'instauration de la straight photography comme canon d’une tradition esthétisante du médium et éclaire l’influence de la critique formaliste dans l'émergence d'un modernisme documentaire, exemplifié par la production de Walker Evans. De nombreux photographes dont les pratiques ne correspondaient pas aux idéaux de perfection technique de la straight photography ont de exclus des circuits de légitimation institutionnelle, en particulier les membres de la Photo League de New York. La photographie documentaire urbaine, développée en dehors de la doxa moderniste, fait l'objet du deuxième chapitre de cette étude. A. cet égard, une attention particulière est consacrée à l'œuvre critique d'Elizabeth McCausland, principale porte-parole de la fonction sociale de la photographie. Le troisième chapitre se concentre sur la période de l’après-guerre. Dans ce nouveau contexte, les Américains sont à la recherche de nouveaux canons artistiques, qu'ils trouvent dans la photographie de reportage française, dont Henri Cartier-Bresson représente le chef de file. Ce chapitre dévoile les intérêts diplomatiques du modernisme dans les échanges transatlantiques avec la France, ainsi que ses intérêts économique à travers l'exemple d'André Kertész dont l'exposition au MoMA suscite l'envol de sa cote sur le marché naissant de la photographie dans les années 1970. / This thesis is dedicated to questions of reception and institutionalization of documentary photography and reportage photography from 1937 through to the 1970s at the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). The first chapter looks at the development and objectives of the advent of straight photography as a canon or an aestheticizing tradition of the medium, and sheds light on the influence of formalist criticism in the emergence of a form of documentary modernism, exemplified by the works of Walker Evans. Many photographers whose practices do not correspond to the ideals of technical perfection of straight photography were excluded from the circuits of institutional legitimization, particularly the members of the New York Photo League, Urban documentary photography, developed outside of the modernist doxa will be the subject of the second chapter of this study. In this respect, particular attention is paid to the critical work of Elizabeth McCausland, a major spokesperson for the social function of photography. The third chapter focuses on the post-war period. ln this new context. The Americans were looking for new artistic canons, which they found in French reportage photography, with Henri Cartier-Bresson leading the fray. Finally, this chapter reveals the diplomatic interests of modernism in Transatlantic exchanges with France, as well as its economic interests, taking André Kertész, as an example, whose exhibition at MoMA caused his works to suddenly rise in value on the inchoate photography market of the 1970s.

In his 1978 biography of Dorothea Lange, Milton Meltzer appraised Lange's 1936 photography in Utah as nothing more than mundane work done for the benefit of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and not for her own benefit as a photographer. Yet, her work in Utah encapsulates the aspirations, goals, and styles of Lange, and gives insight into her vision as a photographer and representative of the New Deal. Through carefully composed photographs, Lange shows the hardships and hope of life in Utah during the Great Depression. This thesis investigates Lange's photographs in order to gain a greater understanding of the FSA in Utah during the Great Depression, the nature of FSA photography, and her work in general. To accomplish these tasks, it will be necessary to investigate the photographs and their captions, the work of other FSA photographers, local histories, contemporary sources, and FSA scholarship. Using these sources, this thesis attempts to identify reasons why Lange took the photographs she did. Using the historical context under which Lange's photographs were made also allows for an examination of Lange's use of visual editing, or, in other words, her artistic manipulation in creating her own vision of the areas she was assigned to photograph. The manner in which she photographed the small rural towns of Consumers, Widtsoe, and Escalante, was not completely indicative of the towns' true nature, or the towns' reality. Rather, the portraits Lange created were personal visions that supported the FSA and her own beliefs and altruistic ideology.

"At Face Value: Investigating Perception through Portraiture" is a body of work that examines how people process their perception in imagery. The Deadpan Aesthetic, photographic truth and American identity are discussed, as well as the amount of influence a photographer has in his work. Since perception is defined as an understanding of setting via the senses, I hope to challenge viewers by employing strategies to destabilize the viewer's reception of my photographs.

本創作分為兩條主軸，一條為攝影作品集取向的攝影製作，另一條為研究結果取向的創作論述與田野研究。兩者在內容呈現上互為輔佐，在方法上互相補充。筆者通過在雲南L市的紀實攝影與相關闡釋，為閱聽人提供一副較為真實的精神病患的生存圖景。 在X精神病院中的醫護人員與病人之間的確存在著巨大的權力落差，其中權力的運作方式基本符合Foucault的描述：與空間緊密的結合。病區中的規章制度與大大小小的日常活動依依顯示出醫護人員對病人的控制。醫生在診斷與治療的過程中並未完全依循西方醫學，而是加入了地方知識。病人也在個體層面上有著微小的反抗，雖然有效，但也未破壞醫院秩序的正常運轉。 而在LJ村拍攝的民族誌影片中，顯示出了村中年輕人與老一輩在地方文化傳承上的斷裂。相較於民俗治療儀式，他們更願意相信西方醫療體系，更加傾向於去現代醫院中進行診斷與治療。 / This paper is mainly based on two guidelines: the photography creation aiming at photo collection, and the discussion and field research for research achievements. Theses two guidelines work as supplement for each other. Through the record by photography and related discussion in L City, Yunnan, I hope that the real current situation for mental patients could be showed to readers. Indeed, there is a great “power gap” between the staff and patients in psychiatric hospital, in which the way the staff use their power almost complies with Foucault’s description: “Space, Knowledge and Power”. All the rules and daily activities in the area indicate the control of the staff to patients in different degree. The doctors don’t completely rely on western medical for healing, instead they add traditional knowledge, for which patients sometimes make small fight for. Although these small fights are effective, they don’t make effect on the normal operation of the hospital. In terms of the ethnography film recorded in L Village, it indicates a disruption between the young and the old on the inheritance for traditional culture. The young generation is more likely to choose modern hospital for disease, rather than relying on traditional method.

Obwohl das dokumentarische Bild als beglaubigte Aufzeichnung einer außermedialen Realität als Diskursgegenstand bereits seit Längerem dekonstruiert ist, scheint die Faszination am Dokumentarischen nahezu ungebrochen. Die stete Bezugnahme auf das Dokumentarische in unterschiedlichen Diskursen der Fotografie zeugt davon. Auch zahlreiche künstlerische Auseinandersetzungen rekurrieren seit den 80er-Jahren verstärkt auf dokumentarische Konzepte und Formate. Ausgehend von diesem Paradoxon, der Dekonstruktion des Dokumentarischen in Theoriekontexten und dem Wiedererstarken dokumentarischer Formate in der Fotografie und Kunst, sucht die vorliegende Arbeit nach den Ursachen einer offenkundig anhaltenden Faszination am Dokumentarischen. Dabei richtet sie den Blick speziell auf künstlerische Fotografien, die Gebrauchsweisen der Fotografie aufgreifen, welche per se mit dem Dokumentarischen affiziert werden, wie die Pressefotografie, die kriminalistische Fotografie und die Amateurfotografie. Sie zeigt, über welche Strategien das Dokumentarische dort produktiv umgesetzt wird. Lässt sich jeder Dokumentarismus erst einmal als Versuch lesen, in der Repräsentation das Reale zu verbildlichen, beziehen sich die vorgestellten künstlerischen Arbeiten von Jeff Wall, Thomas Demand, Sophie Calle und Richard Billingham zwar auf ein Begehren nach dem Realen, machen aber gleichzeitig den Verlust des Realen in ihren Erzählungen von der Wirklichkeit erfahrbar. In ihrer Ambivalenz vermitteln die künstlerischen Arbeiten ein Konzept des Dokumentarischen als mobiles System, das dieses nicht als Kategorie, Genre oder Stil festschreibt, sondern als Handlung begreift, die das permanente Ineinandergreifen von Konstruktion und Dekonstruktion des Dokumentarischen nachvollzieht. Insofern erweisen sich die Kunst und das Dokumentarische als nicht polar, denn über ihre Beziehung zum Realen kristallisiert sich dieses als das gemeinsame Dritte der beiden heraus. / Although the documentary image as authenticated record of a reality beyond the media has, as the object of discourse, long been deconstructed, the fascination with the documentary would appear to be ongoing. The constant references to the documentary in a variety of photography discourses bears witness to this. In addition, countless artistic treatments since the Eighties have referred back to documentary concepts and formats. In the light of this paradox as well as the deconstruction of the documentary in theoretical contexts and the renewed gaining of strength of documentary formats in photography and art, this study investigates the reasons for the evident persistent fascination with the documentary. In the process, artistic photographs in particular are examined which reference conventions in photography that are associated per se with the documentary, such as for example press photography, criminalistic photography, and amateur photography. The strategies by which the documentary is productively implemented are demonstrated here. If every form of documentarism can be read first of all as an attempt to express the real visually in the representation, then the artistic works by Jeff Wall, Thomas Demand, Sophie Calle and Richard Billingham that are presented here may indeed reference a desire for the real, but at the same time they make it possible in their telling of reality to experience the loss of the real. It is through their ambivalence that the artistic works convey a concept of the documentary as a mobile system that does not codify it as a category, genre or style, but rather perceives it as an act that comprehends the documentary''s constant intertwining of construction and deconstruction. As such, it is shown that art and the documentary are not polar, because through their relationship to reality this relationship is shown to crystalize out as the common third party for both.

Esta tese de doutorado está centrada na trajetória de vida de Pierre Verger e procura analisar sua inserção no mundo da fotografia. Focalizando o início da carreira, o trabalho dá ênfase a um período pouco conhecido da vida do fotógrafo e, para tanto, a pesquisa privilegiou, a compreensão das ligações de Pierre Verger com o núcleo familiar, dos laços desenvolvidos no grupo de amigos artistas e das demandas do mercado de trabalho. A família proporcionou-lhe o primeiro mergulho no mundo das imagens através dos negócios do pai, mas Verger guardava restrições em relação às obrigações sociais que a posição familiar na sociedade burguesa lhe exigia. Com a adesão ao grupo dos amigos infreqüentáveis, cujos integrantes viviam de maneira muito diferente da qual estava acostumado, Verger estabeleceu uma rede de contatos, formou grupos de trabalho e viagens, dos quais resultaram, a sua iniciação como fotógrafo. O mercado foi cenário tanto de concorrências e disputas quanto também impôs e sofreu a imposição do gosto predominante do período e, desta forma, as imagens que circulavam publicamente provinham dos projetos individuais dos fotógrafos e das encomendas, sendo destinadas às demandas da imprensa, da publicidade, da moda, dos editores de livros e das exposições. Entre o desejo de se livrar dos moldes da família burguesa, a adesão ao grupo de amigos livres e as exigências do mercado, Verger encontrou um caminho para firmar-se como profissional através da produção fotografia de caráter documental e humanista, 14 anos antes de sua chegada ao Brasil. / This doctoral (PhD) thesis is focused on Pierre Vergers life trajectory and searchs to analyse his integration in the photography world. Standing out the beginning of his career this work puts emphasis on a time not much knowing of the photographer life and for this the reasearch has privileged the understanding of Pierre Vergers relations with the core family, with the relations among the group of artists who were his friends and with the market demands. The family provides him the first entrance in the images world throughout his father business. Verger had some restrictions referring to the social obligations that the family status demanded from him in the bourgeoisie society. Verger had settled several contacts when he joined to the not recommended friends who lived in a different way which Verger was accostumed. He settled work groups and travels which had as result his initiation as a photographer. Photography market was in great increase in the between-wars period and had imposed so much competitions and disputes as also the wishing for some subjects which became photographal and, in this way, the images when didnt come from individual projetcs were, more often, produced according to some orders from customers: press, publicity, fashion and book publishers. Among the wish of releasing from the bourgeoisie family, his participation to the not recommended groups of friends and the market demands, Verger had found a path to stand out as profissional throughout the documental and humanist photography production, 14 years before his arrival to Brazil.

The Douglas Summerland Collection is a fictional "monographically based history"1. In essence this research is concerned with the current debates about history recording, authenticity of the photograph, methods of history construction and how the audience digests new 'knowledge'. The narrative for this body of work is drawn from a small album of maritime photographs discovered in 2004 within the archives of the Port Chalmers Regional Maritime Museum in New Zealand. The album contains vernacular images of life onboard several sailing ships from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including the DH Sterling and the William Mitchell. Through investigating the'truth' systems promoted by the photograph within the presentations of histories this research draws a link between the development of colonialism and the perception of photography. It also deliberates on how 'truth' perception is still a major part of an audience's knowledge base. 1.
