Esta dissertação trata da trajetória e obra fotográfica de Theodor Preising no Brasil. O fotógrafo percorreu área considerável do território nacional tomando vistas para a produção de cartões-postais e registrando viagens de sócios do Touring Clube do Brasil. Trabalhou ainda para a revista S.Paulo, e integrou os quadros funcionais do Departamento de Imprensa e Propaganda de São Paulo, contribuindo com a elaboração de uma imagem do país nas publicações oficiais direcionadas para leitura no Brasil e no exterior. Entre essas publicações estavam: o jornal Brasil Novo, a revista Travel in Brazil, as reportagens da Agência Nacional e dois folhetos turísticos. Trata-se de um estudo que busca demonstrar a versatilidade de Preising e a extensão de sua obra. A análise do trabalho de Preising, entre 1923 e 1948, permite observamos a transformação de sua linguagem, que se sobrepõe e exemplifica a metamorfose da sociedade. / This dissertation discusses Theodor Preisings trajectory and photographic work at Brasil. The photographer has covered considerable area of national territory taking views to postcards and registering trips of Touring Clube do Brasil affiliations. He has still worked to S.Paulo magazine, and joined the staffs of Departamento de Imprensa e Propaganda de São Paulo, contributing to the development of the countrys image in the official publications in Brazil and overseas. Between these publications was: the Brasil Novo newspaper, the Travel in Brazil magazine, reports of the Agência Nacional and two touristic papers. This work proposes to demonstrate Preisings versatility and the extent of his work. By analyzing Preisings work, since 1923 to 1948, we can understand the transformation of his technique, witch exemplifies the metamorphosis of the society.

This thesis is about the mobilities of geographical knowledge in the material form of lantern-slides and the forces exerted on these by technological and human factors. Owing to its concern with matter, human- and non-human, and its circulation, the thesis addresses the physics of geographical knowledge. The chapters below investigate the Royal Geographical Society’s (RGS) ongoing tradition of telling stories of science and exploration through words, objects and pictures in the final quarter of the nineteenth century and as geography professionalized and geographical science developed. These processes occurred within the context of a plethora of technological innovations, including the combination of the older medium of the magic lantern and photographic lantern-slides, integral to a wide range of entertainment, scientific and educational performances across Britain. In 1886 the RGS began to engage with the magic lantern. Via this technology and the interactive lecture performances in which it featured, I argue that the Society embraced the medium of photography, thereby engendering transformations in methods of knowledge making and to the RGS collections. I study how these transformations influenced the discipline of Geography as it was re-established at the University of Oxford in 1887. I demonstrate the evolution of the RGS’s Evening, Technical and Young Persons’ lectures, their contingent lantern-slide practices and, consequently, how these moulded, and were moulded by, the RGS Fellowship between c. 1885 and 1924. The chapters below explore how these innovations in visual technologies and practices arose, how they circulated knowledge and their effect on geographies of geographical knowledge making. By harnessing the lantern the RGS attracted an expanding and diversifying audience demographic. The thesis demonstrates the interactive nature of RGS lantern-slide lectures and audiences' important role in shaping the Society’s practices and geographical knowledge. The chapters below argue that it was via the use of the lantern that geography was disseminated to new places. The thesis therefore brings additional perspectives and dimensions to understandings of the circulation of geographical knowledge.

Esta dissertação visa investigar o circuito fotográfico paulistano da década de 1970 a partir das matérias publicadas no jornal O Estado de S. Paulo. Esta fonte mostrou-se particularmente propícia para o estudo do intenso processo de transformação pelo qual passou a fotografia no período. O objetivo não é reconstituir os eventos passados descritos nas matérias, mas antes, defender a hipótese de que é possível identificar uma cultura fotográfica paulistana característica da década de 1970 que viria a ter importantes desdobramentos nos anos seguintes. Os textos analisados foram reunidos em quatro núcleos temáticos representativos dos discursos a respeito da fotografia proferidos pelos agentes que atuavam no jornal, a saber: a história da fotografia no Brasil, a identidade da fotografia brasileira, o estabelecimento do mercado fotográfico e a constituição de uma crítica especializada. Tais textos são examinados em sua natureza discursiva, levando-se em conta não apenas os seus conteúdos informativos, mas a forma como foram escritos e a autoridade que detinham os seus autores. Para tanto são considerados os consensos, as tensões e as disputas materializadas nos discursos veiculados nas páginas de um influente veículo da grande imprensa e o modo como chegavam ao público não especializado. O resultado dessa pesquisa contribui para o entendimento de um período em que a fotografia expandiu-se de forma até então inédita no Brasil e que constitui um passado recente ainda pouco estudado. / This dissertation aims to investigate the São Paulo photographic circuit of the 1970s from the articles published in the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo. This source proved to be particularly conducive to study of the intense transformation process through which the photograph passed in the period. The objective is not to reconstitute past events described in the stories, but rather to defend the hypothesis that it is possible to identify a photographic culture typical of the 1970s that would have important developments in the following years. The texts analyzed were grouped in four thematic nuclei, representative of the speeches about photography by the agents who worked in the newspaper, namely: the history of photography in Brazil, the identity of Brazilian photography, the establishment of the photographic market and the constitution of a specialized criticism. Such texts are examined in their discursive nature, taking into account not only their informative contents but the way they were written and the authority held by their authors. For this, the consensuses, tensions and disputes materialized in the speeches on the pages of an influential vehicle of the great press and the way in which they were received by the non-specialized public are taken into account. The result of this research contributes to the understanding of a period in which photography has expanded in a way previously unpublished in Brazil and that constitutes a recent past still little investigated.

[pt] A dissertação baseia-se em pesquisa exploratória, discorrendo sobre o período em que a imagem fotográfica começa a ser incorporada pela imprensa periódica ilustrada da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Assim, fazem parte do universo desta pesquisa as publicações saídas entre 1839 (ano do anúncio da descoberta do daguerreótipo, primeiro processo fotográfico patenteado e explorado comercialmente no mundo) e 1900, derradeiro ano de um século marcante sob inúmeros aspectos e momento em que o país inicia a segunda década do regime republicano, em meio a transformações políticas, econômicas, sociais e culturais que, naturalmente, se refletiriam na imprensa. Na virada do século, o fato dos processos de reprodução fotomecânica já estarem técnica e comercialmente resolvidos e o fato da tecnologia da própria fotografia haver sido extremamente aperfeiçoada, vão implicar - com certo atraso em relação aos centros mais avançados - uma mudança de atitude quanto ao uso da fotografia na imprensa ilustrada carioca do século XX - distanciando- a, finalmente, da caricatura e conferindo-lhe uma gradual autonomia como meio de comunicação e expressão. Foram examinadas as coleções de 1.126 periódicos publicados na cidade do Rio de Janeiro no período, integrantes das coleções em microfilme da Fundação Biblioteca Nacional. O trabalho visou detectar as primeiras utilizações da fotografia, contextualizando-as minimamente - inclusive do ponto de vista das tecnologias empregadas - além de destacar dois marcos no processo de incorporação da fotografia pela imprensa ilustrada, o primeiro em A Semana Illustrada (1860-1876) e o segundo em O Besouro (1877-1878). / [en] The dissertation is based on exploratory research, covering the period during which the photographic image starts to be incorporated by the illustrated periodical press in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Thus the universe of the present research includes all periodical publications locally printed between 1839 (the year of the announcement of the invention of the daguerreotype - the first photographic process to be patented and commercially explored in the world) and 1900, which marks the end of an outstanding century under several aspects, when the country starts its second decade under the new republican regime, going through severe political, economical, social and cultural changes which, naturally, were reflected in the press.By the turn of the century, the fact that photomechanical processes were both technically and commercially well developed and also the fact that photographic technology had been quite perfected, would give raise to a change in attitude on what concerns the uses of photography in early XXth century s Rio de Janeiro illustrated periodical press. Photography finally moved away from caricature and reached a gradual autonomy as a means of communication and expression. One thousand, one hundred and twenty six collections of periodicals published in the city of Rio de Janeiro (which belong to the microfilm collections of the National Library) were examined. The work aimed at detecting the first uses of photography, putting them into minimum context - including the technologies employed. It also distinguishes two relevant marks in the process of photography s incorporation by the local illustrated press - the first in A Semana Ilustrada (1860-1876) and the second in O Besouro (1877-1878).

The daguerreotype was the first photographic process recognized and patented by the French government in August 1839. In Brazil, the abbot Louis Compte presented it in January 1840 in Rio de Janeiro city, with the attendance of the future emperor, d. Pedro II. To develop the research we have used as documents advertisements made by daguerreotypers in newspapers circulating at that time at the Brazilian Court and the manual for the production of daguerreotypes. From the information contained in the advertisements, we have established categories aiming to systematize the data, as follows: teachers, trade, frame, accessories, shapes, time, hours, color, detail and innovations. In this manner, it was possible to compare general information concerning the daguerreotypes production and the particularities presented by the photographers, connecting data and making it possible to map the process of knowledge from this period / O objetivo dessa pesquisa é identificar e analisar as especificidades da produção de daguerreótipos no rio de Janeiro entre 1840-1850. O daguerreótipo foi o primeiro processo fotográfico reconhecido e patenteado pelo governo francês em agosto de 1839. No Brasil, foi apresentado em janeiro de 1840, pelo abade Louis Compte na cidade do Rio de Janeiro na presença do futuro imperador d. Pedro II. Para realização dessa pesquisa, utilizamos como documento os anúncios dos daguerreotipistas nos jornais do período em circulação na corte e o manual de como produzir daguerreótipos. A partir das informações contidas nos anúncios estabelecemos categorias objetivando sistematizar os dados; são essas: professores, comércio, moldura, acessórios, formatos, tempo, horário, cor, detalhes e novidades. Dessa forma, foi possível comparar as informações gerais com relação a produção de daguerreótipos e as particularidades apresentadas pelos fotógrafos relacionando os dados e possibilitando mapear o processo de conhecimento nesse período

(EN) The thesis was created as an analysis of the applied photography of Jan Svoboda (1934-1990). The czech art photographer whose work concludes, next to his own fine-art photographs, amount of documentary pictures of his contemporary art colleagues. Based on an inside view of his fine-art works consisting mostly of still-lifes it became possible to re-analyze large quantity of found material of his so called art reproduction photography which follows the very same principles of his own artwork. The analysis focuses only on documentation of three dimensional pieces of work. Resulting conclusion shows Jan Svoboda as an actual creative competitor of the documented artist's work. By his act of opening a dialog with the documented art piece which leads to a photograph that might have been often considered as an abuse of the particular art piece for the sake of formal qualities of Svoboda's work. The last part of the thesis aims to briefly reveal worldwide context of photographers documenting art pieces with emphasis on the medium of photography and therefore often surpassing demand for faithful depiction of the art object.

La recerca que es presenta aborda la capacitat discursiva de la fotografia, delimitant uns usos concrets del mitjà fotogràfic i analitzant algunes exposicions que es qüestionen la fotografia que parla de l’home en relació amb el seu context social. És per aquest motiu que la investigació pren com a centre d’interès "The Family of Man", exposició fotogràfica de gran rellevància quant a la idea de projecte, quant al procés de gestió de les imatges, i quant a la recepció pública. Comissariada per Edward Steichen, es va inaugurar al Museu d'Art Modern de Nova York l’any 1955. Del seu estudi se’n conclou que es tracta d’un cas paradigmàtic de model expositiu fotogràfic que aglutinava molts dels aspectes que s’han debatut i es debaten encara al voltant de la fotografia, de l’art, i de llurs implicacions socials. En la recerca es circumscriuen els temes de reflexió més rellevants i s’observa com es presenten aquests en algunes exposicions o actituds artístiques de finals del segle XX, principis del XXI, les actituds reflexives i crítiques dels autors de les quals semblen revelar directament o indirecta, l’herència dels propòsits del fotògraf E. Steichen, artífex representatiu d’un corrent en la producció fotogràfica que procura conciliar l’art i la vida comuna. La revisió i l’anàlisi d’exhibicions perfilen el què ha canviat en la fotografia pel que fa a la percepció i representació de l’home i les seves relacions socials, i com aquests canvis s’han emmirallat en les diverses manifestacions artístiques contemporànies sobre l’home. Així mateix, el recorregut per les obres i el temps deixen paleses algunes de les modificacions que des dels anys cinquanta han esdevingut respecte a la concepció i comprensió de la imatge fotogràfica en el context de l’art. / This research address the discursive capacity of photography, delimiting specific uses of the photographic medium and analyzing some exhibitions that question the photography that speaks about mankind in relation to its social context. It is for this reason that research takes as its focus of interest The Family of Man photographic exhibition of great relevance attending to the idea of the project, the management of the pictures, and in terms of public reception. Curated by Edward Steichen, was opened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955. Its study concludes that it is a paradigmatic case of model photography exhibition that brings together many of the issues being and discussed even now around the photography, art, and their social implications. The research reflects the highlights that are shown in some exhibitions and in several artistic attitudes of the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and also the critical and reflective attitudes of the authors which seem to reveal directly or indirectly, the inheritance of the purposes of the photographer E. Steichen, the most representative artifex of a photographic movement that tries to reconcile art and common daily life. The review and the analysis of exhibitions outline what has changed in the photography attending to the perception and representation of men and their social relationships, and how these changes have been mirrored in several contemporary art demonstrations about mankind. Likewise studying the works through the time reveals some of the changes that have occurred since the fifties about the conception and understanding of the photographic image in the context of art.

Cette étude s'attache au statut des ruines dans la photographie de guerre et en dresse l'inventaire de leurs aspects esthétiques. Le cas de la ville de Beyrouth, défigurée par les bombardements pendant la guerre civile (1975-1990), est à bien des égards exemplaire puisqu'elle a fait l'objet d'une commande photographique confiée à des photographes prestigieux, en 1991, qui avaient pour mission de conserver la mémoire d'un immense champ de ruines. Cette commande photographique est donc, pour cette raison, au centre de notre recherche. Pour saisir pleinement les enjeux des choix effectués par les photographes au cours de cette commande, il était nécessaire dans un premier temps, d'analyser la mise en place de la constitution d'une esthétique des ruines dans l'histoire de la photographie de guerre de 1853 à 1945, à travers des exemples célèbres sur les champs de bataille. Dans un deuxième temps, il était important de considérer les motivations et les objectifs de chacun des photographes dans le contexte de la commande, en les mettant en résonance avec d'autres expériences photographiques menées à Beyrouth pendant et après le conflit, mais aussi en filiation avec les cas étudiés dans la première partie. La troisième partie de cette thèse constitue un compendium des aspects esthétiques dans le traitement photographique des ruines de guerre à Beyrouth qui permet d'affirmer aujourd'hui que, la ruine de guerre est un genre à part entière en photographie. / The present study explores the status of ruins in war photography and draws up the inventory of their aesthetic features. Disfigured by bombing and shelling during the civil war (1975-1990), the city of Beirut is in many respects an examplary case since it was the subject of a photographic commission entrusted to prestigious photographers in 1991, the mission of which was to preserve the memory of an immense field of ruins. For this very reason, this photographic commission is at the core of our research project. Firstly, in order to understand fully what was at stake in the choices made by the photographers within the framework of this commission, we had to analyze how the aesthetics of ruins has been elaborated in the history of war photography from 1853 to 1945, using famous examples from battlefields. Secondly, it was important to consider the motivations and objectives of each of the photographers within the context of the commission. For this purpose we made these elements echo other photographic experiences conducted in Beirut during and after the conflict, then we related them to the cases studied in the first part. The third part of the present thesis forms a compendium of aesthetic aspects in the photographic vision of war ruins in Beirut that makes it possible to assert that war ruins form a fully fledged genre in photography.

Cette thèse traite des rapports noués entre le livre et la photographie en France au cours du dernier tiers du XIXe siècle. Elle dégage les enjeux recouverts par cette association pour les acteurs collaborant à sa réalisation, à la croisée desquels a été progressivement inventé un objet inédit : un livre dont le discours s’élabore à partir de la combinaison de textes et de photographies entre ses plats de couverture au moins, mais aussi sur ses pages si l’envie ou le besoin le commande. Pour cela, elle circonscrit les contours et les tendances de la production moyenne entre 1867 et 1897, en construisant un corpus qui en reflète l’étendue et les ambitions. De type systémique, son analyse démontre que le livre n’a été ni le berceau, ni le foyer, non plus que le vecteur de diffusion principal des images photographiques en France au XIXe siècle. En révélant l’extrême diversité de la production, elle prouve par contre que le livre a constitué un laboratoire d’expérimentations des modalités de l’association des textes et des images photographiques, dans le but de formaliser un discours pour le pérenniser. Par ce biais, les auteurs et les éditeurs ont progressivement défini les spécificités de la photographie dans le champ des moyens disponibles pour l’illustration. Permettant notamment aux imprimeurs-éditeurs de réaffirmer leur position dominante sur un monde de l’édition en mutation, les processus de cette appropriation se distinguent toutefois par la très faible implication de la communauté photographique. Dès lors, cette thèse propose une périodisation des liens des photographes au livre, lorsque celui-ci est utilisé comme un levier dans leurs réclamations statutaires. / This thesis is about the relationship between books and photography in France during the last three decades of the 19th century. It reveals what was at stake in this specific association for the diverse actors involved in its creation. Articulating multiple issues, a new object was gradually invented: the photographically illustrated book, that is a book discursively produced through combining texts and photographic images between its covers, if not on the very pages themselves. To this end, the thesis charts the boundaries and tendencies of the average production of photographically illustrated books between 1867 and 1897, building a corpus that reflects its extent and its ambitions. Through a systemic analysis, it demonstrates that books were neither the breeding grounds nor the main sites nor the main vehicles for the dissemination of photographic images in 19th century France. By showing the extreme diversity of the production, it argues that books have constituted an experimental ground where modalities of texts’ and photographic images’ associations were tested. Through this process, authors and editors progressively defined what would become the specific characteristics of photographic images as means available for illustration. Allowing publishers and printers to reaffirm their dominant position in the world of publishing, the processes of this appropriation is particular because of the very low involvement of the photographic community itself. Therefore, the thesis proposes a periodization of the links of photographers to the book, analysing its role in the statutory claims they made through time.
