Nas entrelinhas dos retratos escravizados do Brasil em estúdios fotográficos na segunda metade do século XIX

Abstract

This article analyzes the photographic portraits taken in Brazilian studios in the second half of the 19th century, especially since the creation of the called “cartes de visite”, in which the focus of the images are the enslaved people. The main objective is to understand the forms of representation and self-representation of the historical narrative, as well as the visual culture and the social cycles of the image. As a methodology, I adopted imagery analysis, based on the concepts developed in the bibliography, such as the Appeased Violence of Mariana Muaze (2017).
