Throughout the work we investigate, using different devices, the fields of affectability proposed by the artist, his artistic interventions and the sensitive communities generated by his propositions. In this way, we consider the artistic experience as a mediator of worlds and navigate through its passages adopting multiple historical, anthropological, philosophical and artistic perspectives as the compositional strategy of its cartographies / A pesquisa a seguir propõe uma interlocução entre o acervo do artista Zofir Brasil, localizado na cidade de Rio de Contas (Bahia) e os modos de subjetivação na comunidade em que se inscreve. Ao longo do trabalho, investigamos, através de diferentes dispositivos, os campos de afectibilidade propostos pelo artista, suas intervenções artísticas e as comunidades sensíveis instaladas por suas proposições. A experiência artística será entendida como mediadora de mundos, cuja cartografia deve mobilizar múltiplas perspectivas históricas, antropológicas, filosóficas e artísticas

L'histoire houleuse de la province du Katanga, et plus largement de la République démocratique du Congo a fortement remanié l'organisation du tissu social traditionnel et la répartition de la population. Dans les villages à proximité des routes, de nombreuses populations cohabitent - Tshokwés, Kasaïen, Amba, Bemba, Lamba, etc. - et essayent de projeter et construire un avenir malgré la rareté des ressources. Dans l'espace rural du Katanga et du nord de la province de la Copperbelt (Zambie), les différentiels économiques, réels et fantasmés, sont omniprésents. La circulation d'expatriés – personnel d'ONG, salariés des sociétés minières, missionnaires, etc. - et la présence de « creuseurs » ou encore le va-et-vient de camions transportant le minerai exacerbent la conscience de pauvreté des habitants. Les moyens de communication modernes, le modèle de consommation occidental ont été assimilés avec une brutale rapidité transformant radicalement les modes et manières de se représenter, et en répercussion la conscience de soi des individus (De Lame et Dibwe, 2005 : 36). La jeune génération, et notamment dans les villages où la marge de manœuvre créatrice est plus grande, réinvente ces codes au travers des décorations en argile, en usant d'un legs dont elle n'a pas nécessairement conscience. La « guerre sociale des signes » (Ouedraogo, 2008 : 8) qui accompagne la globalisation nécessite de mieux comprendre les processus de représentation et c'est ce que vise cette recherche ; il s'agit donc dans cet ouvrage de mieux percevoir la façon dont se disent les individus que sont les habitants de trois villages de la Copperbelt africaine, voire la façon dont ils s'affichent par le biais des décorations. “Décorations, peintures et images de soi ; les processus de représentation à l'ère du Village-Global : Études de cas dans trois villages de la Copperbelt africaine” analyse ainsi les représentations produites par les habitants des villages de Makwacha (République démocratique du Congo), de Kakyelo (DRC) et de Mudenda (Zambie) au travers des décorations réalisées sur les murs des cases. / My research analyzes the mural paintings realized in the villages of Makwacha (Democratic Republic of Congo), Kakyelo (DRC) and Mudenda (Zambia). These mural paintings, while displaying apparently heterogeneous aesthetics, show similar production process (a mostly female collective dynamic, a similar use of clay and organic mixture as painting materials) that suggest their link to the former Lamba tradition called kushingula. Over the last 50 years, great economic and political changes have occured in Zambia and Democratic Republic of Congo. How do these mural paintings practices relate to each other ? What social status do have these paintings nowadays? Who does realize them and for which reasons? What kind of narratives do they elaborate? In order to understand what mirror these practices, I investigate on the inhabitants' motivations and sources of inspiration and the singular histories of each village, connecting individuals' initiatives and influences with village economic issues and structural organization. Indeed, along with the inhabitants, these mural painting practices involve a wide range of actors (NGO, tourists, journalists, artists, etc.) intertwinning different scales, divergent interests and heclectic imaginaries which question how cultural values and signs constantly (re)emerged from heterogenous agencies and how it circulates through individuals and groups.

O termo nerd tem circulado há algumas décadas em meio aos mais variados lugares e circunstâncias, e seu significado tem oscilado conforme o contexto de seu emprego. Atualmente tem gradativamente deixado de lado um aspecto necessariamente pejorativo em detrimento a uma conotação mais branda, cada vez menos ligada a processos cognitivos (principalmente em âmbito escolar, acadêmico, científico) ou à capacidade de interação social e cada vez mais ligada à relação com um universo de bens culturais específicos. Essa mudança de concepção do termo, contudo, não é repentina e absoluta. Trata-se de um processo de transformação que articula signos distintos, com barreiras que nem sempre são nítidas. Considerando o termo nerd como categoria de autoafirmação e partindo de uma concepção que o interpreta como o indivíduo que possui uma estreita relação com um determinado conjunto de bens culturais específicos, esta dissertação se propôs a investigar a maneira como esses nerds interagem entre si por meio da apreciação compartilhada de bens, sobretudo, audiovisuais. / The term nerd has been circulating for a few decades around the most different places and circumstances, with its meaning oscillating according to the context of its use. Currently, it has been gradually keeping aside a necessarily offensive aspect to move over to a softer connotation, less connected to cognitive processes (specially on academic and scientific environments) or the ability to perform social interactions and more connected to the relationship established with specifics cultural goods. This change regarding the conception of the term, however, is not sudden e absolute. It is a process of transformation that articulates distinct signs, with barriers that are not always clear. Considering the term nerd as a self-affirmation category, and based in a conception that interpreted it as the individual that has a strict relationship with a certain set of specific cultural goods, this dissertation intended to investigate the way those nerds interact with each other through a shared consumption of goods, specially, audiovisual.

Esta tese se propõe a pensar sobre o lugar da infância no cinema curdo de Bahman Ghobadi e tem como objeto de estudo os filmes Life in fog (Zendegi da Meh, 1999), A Time for Drunken Horses (Zamani barayé masti asbha, 2000), Turtles can Fly (Lakposhtha parvaz mikonand, 2004), Life on the Border (2015) e A Flag Without a Country (2015). Minha hipótese é que em seus filmes o lugar que a criança ocupa é de agência, pois as crianças deixam de ser seres passivos, para se tornarem agentes sociais. Isso transparece tanto nos personagens construídos quanto em suas funções durante a realização dos filmes, quando atuam também enquanto coautoras, pois o método de direção de Bahman Ghobadi dialoga com as etnoficções criadas por Jean Rouch, que conta com a colaboração dos sujeitos filmados. A opção de Ghobadi por fugir das normas convencionais de se fazer cinema, além de ser uma opção estética, é também política, e efetiva-se como um cinema de resistência, que se assume enquanto um cinema curdo. Para entender quais infâncias Ghobadi aborda e o que significa para essas crianças serem curdas, procuro descobrir os contextos nos quais elas estão inseridas. Realizo isso através de um panorama do cinema curdo e seu diálogo com a sociedade, que investiga os temas que esse cinema utiliza, as guerras que essas crianças enfrentam, o uso do idioma, a censura e a relação com os países hospedeiros. / My hypothesis is that in Ghobadis movies children are invested with agency, for they are not passive beings, but social agents. This surfaces in the constructed characters as well as in their engagement as coauthors of the films, because Bahman Ghobadis directing method dialogues with Jean Rouchs ethnofictions, both relying upon the collaboration of the subjects on screen. Ghobadis choice to skip the conventional movie making rules is more than an aesthetical one, it is also a political one, accomplishing a cinema of resistance, claiming itself to be a Kurdish Cinema. To understand witch childhoods are approached by Ghobadi and what does it means to those children to be Kurdish, I investigate the context they dwell. This investigation is carried out by presenting a Kurdish Cinema panorama and its dialogue with the society, investigating the themes presented by this cinema, the wars those children face, the uses of language, the censorship and the relation with the host countries.

João Bravo não nasceu nem João, nem Bravo, nem Cinta Larga. Quando o cacique nasceu, muito antes do contato oficial com a FUNAI (Fundação Nacional do Índio), a vida nas aldeias era muito diferente do que é hoje. Partindo das memórias do cacique e de outras lideranças indígenas, a pesquisa discute as possibilidades do trabalho com memória, biografia e trajetórias de vida na antropologia e a importância de se ampliar o alcance das narrativas e interpretações nativas no contexto das forças assimétricas de representação sobre o passado e o presente. Nos últimos quinze anos, o povo Cinta Larga têm aparecido nos noticiários nacionais e internacionais por consequência dos conflitos violentos relacionados à invasão garimpeira e à exploração de diamantes dentro do território indígena, tendo o registro das memórias e do passado em seus próprios termos se tornado uma demanda prioritária das lideranças indígenas ao reconhecerem a importância política dessas representações. A pesquisa aborda também as potencialidades e limites das metodologias de uso da câmera de filmagem e do vídeo participativo em campo, assim como do conceito de etnobiografia desenvolvido pelo cineasta Jorge Prelorán. / João Bravo was born neither João nor Bravo nor Cinta Larga. When the cacique was born, long before official contact with FUNAI (National Indian Foundation), life in the villages was very different from what it is today. Based on the memories of the cacique and other indigenous leaders, this work discusses the possibilities of working with memory, biography and life trajectories in anthropology and the importance of extending the scope of native narratives and interpretations in the context of asymmetrical forces in the representations of the past and the present. In the last fifteen years the Cinta Larga people have appeared in national and international news as a consequence of the violent conflicts related to the invasion of the miners and the exploitation of diamonds within the indigenous territory. The record of the memories in its own terms has became then an Indigenous leaders demand as they recognize the political importance of these representations. The research also addresses the potencials and limits of camera use and participatory video methodologies in the field, as well as the concept of ethnobiography developed by filmmaker Jorge Prelorán.

The tourism industry is particularly reliant on the use of imagery to create a brand for a destination or attraction in order to effectively market its product. In the case of Indigenous tourism, a paradox often exists between maintaining a level of recognition and familiarity that mirror the expectations of the public imagination, and conveying a representation that is locally meaningful and emblematic. Investigation into the visual representation and communication of identity through tourism is a means to illustrate three overlapping issues that are prevalent throughout the literature on Indigenous tourism. These are: control, authenticity, and hybridity. This research project addresses these issues through an extensive review of anthropological and tourism-related literature and its application to the specific case study of one Indigenous tourism business, the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre (NDCC), owned and operated by the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB) in Osoyoos, British Columbia (BC), Canada. Semiotic and visual analyses are used to elucidate the messages about OIB identity communicated through the Centre’s visuals, in order to bring the example of the OIB and NDCC into conversation with the larger issues found within Indigenous tourism. / Graduate

Confirmar a realidade e realçar a experiência por meio de fotos é um consumismo estético em que todos, hoje, estão viciados. Fotografias possuem uma enorme importância na sociedade moderna e, geralmente, só se registra aquilo que se quer mostrar. Aqueles que vivem nas favelas cariocas, no entanto, não dominam a imagem construída a seu respeito, freqüentemente associada a representações construídas pela mídia, diretamente ligadas à guerra do tráfico de drogas. O número de projetos sociais (áudio) visuais vem crescendo em todo o Brasil, visando valorizar a auto-estima e as relações sociais, além de formar profissionalmente os jovens. Esperam, dessa forma, torná-los cidadãos e dá-lhes uma visibilidade social positiva. Na favela Santa Marta, no Rio de Janeiro, a ONG Olhares do Morro criada em 2002 pretende criar uma representação da favela alternativa a esta, onde a violência é foco único, contribuindo para a construção de uma nova realidade, onde o cotidiano e a paisagem local são focalizados pelos moradores, transformando o olhar sobre seu lugar de moradia. Compreender que fotos são essas e por que se diferenciam das até então produzidas, além de perceber como transformam olhares externos (e internos) em relação às favelas são questões atuais. Aqui, pretendo fazer uma análise das imagens produzidas pelo grupo, pensando sobre a relação das imagens fotográficas com sua identidade, e como estas podem contribuir para a transformação de um estigma social. / Photographs have taken an enormous importance in modern society. Usually, we register what we want to be viewed, but if we consider, for example, photographs of the population of the favelas, it is notice able that the most commonly presented image of the people, their environment and their daily life is not similar to the reality they perceive. They, thus, do not have any control on their image, as it is diffused by others. This image is associated, frequently, with representations spread by the media, which are always related to drug traffic and urban violence. For a few years, a great number of visual social projects, with the objective of valuing the regard of oneself and of establishing bonds between the various social layers in the different districts of the cities, have been developed, in Brazil. Among the innumerable projects, there are those that investin vocational training in photography for young favela inhabitants from Rio. The Olhares do Morro organization develops a work that aims at changing the representation of the favela, whose violence always takes the first place. Its main objective is to present another reality, in which their local daily lives and landscapes are recorded photographically by the young inhabitants. They set out to transform the external (and internal) view on the favelas, since photographs have the faculty of changing the perception which one builds of the other or of a place. This memory also analyzes the photographs taken by young photographers of Olhares do Morro as the image of themselves and of the place where they live that they want to transmit. It is, thus, a matter of considering their new trade - photography - a means of building another identity and of denying the social marks related to drugs and marginality.

Com o advento de novas tecnologias, a utilização de recursos audiovisuais para a elaboração e difusão de saberes vem se intensificando, muitas vezes como tema central para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas. Ao mesmo tempo, questões relativas à Diversidade e ao Patrimônio Cultural estão em evidência nas políticas culturais e também nos estudos acadêmicos. Diante desse contexto, o objetivo da presente pesquisa é articular essas vertentes, analisando a potencialidade dos registros de práticas culturais a partir das intersecções entre a História Oral e a Linguagem Audiovisual, concretizadas em documentários etnográficos. Além de empoderar comunidades que participam da produção e difusão desses registros audiovisuais, reconhecendo sua importância social e narrando sua própria história, constatamos, por meio de uma ação educativa a partir da recepção de documentários por parte de alunos do ensino superior em Geografia, que o material produzido tem o potencial pedagógico, em sentido lato, de aproximar diferentes contextos culturais e promover relações de identidade e alteridade mediadas pelo audiovisual. A abordagem etnográfica em sala de aula indicou que, por captar atenção e emoção, a linguagem audiovisual é capaz de favorecer a imersão dos espectadores nos modo de vida, na realidade que se registra e se apresenta, trabalhando as geograficidades e historicidades de distintas comunidades para contextualizar as diferenças e conviver com outros modos de ser e estar no mundo, promovendo a diversidade cultural. / The production and use of images have always been present throughout the history of geographical thought and in anthropological studies. With the advent of new technologies, the use of audiovisual resources for the development and dissemination of knowledge has intensified, often as central to the development of research. At the same time, issues relating to diversity and cultural heritage are evident in cultural policies as well as in academic studies. In this context, the aim of this research is to articulate these aspects, analyzing the potential of the records of cultural practices from the intersections between oral history and Audiovisual Language, implemented in ethnographic documentaries. In addition to empowering communities participating in the production and dissemination of these audiovisual records, recognizing their social importance and narrating his own story, found through an educational action from the reception of documentaries by students in higher education in geography, the produced material has the pedagogical potential in the broad sense, to approach different cultural contexts and promote identity and alterity relations mediated by audiovisual. The ethnographic approach in the classroom indicated that, by capturing attention and emotion, audiovisual language is able to favor the immersion of spectators in life so in fact that records and displays, working the geograficidades and historicity of different communities to contextualize the differences and get along with other ways of being in the world, promoting cultural diversity.

Grounded in fieldwork within a civil association of street vendors in Mexico City, my research interweaves ethnographic and historical approaches to better understand the ways people read and interpret each other in everyday encounters. The study explores representations of street markets in Mexico City’s dominant discourses. Using field methods such as participant observation, filmmaking and street photography, I outline the benefits and difficulties implicated in the assemblage of a periodic market in public spaces. I also trace the trajectories of street market participants in order to understand the role and significance of street markets in their everyday lives and existence in the city. I use the notion of ‘trajectories’ proposed by Massey to define street markets as places of encounters. Following daylight and the daily rhythm of the market, I relate social interactions with the nuances of living in the city. By exploring methods of verbal and non-verbal communication in social interactions in the street market such as dar vista and tantear, I examine the kind of socialities that emerge from these encounters. These practices of communication also allow people to formulate social critiques about the ways of living and socialising in a megacity. Finally, the website that accompanies the thesis, www.diadetianguis.org, is grounded in the idea of trajectories. It aims to explore non-linear modes of ethnographic representation that can enhance and interrelate different ways of approaching and interpreting ethnographic data through a variety of means, such as audiovisual media, mapping and hypermedia. I recommend that one reads the thesis along with the hyperlinks given in particular sections, as a means to encourage the reader to make her own way to explore the website and remaining chapters.
