Visual culture: the potentialities of image in the formation of imaginary space of the contemporary world
Abstract
The article was derived from the opening conference of the III Colóquio Internacional “A Educação pelas imagens e suas geografias”, delivered by the author. Presents questions about how contemporary images comprise the organization of our experience in the world, intensifying the notion of visual culture as part of a biopolitical machine, articulated and perfected in modernity, with the notions of absolute space and time as linear foundations of a regime of visuality. Discusses the tension established between excessive encodings of images and the possibility of more than human geographies. Point discussions about the nature of images in geography from a photograph of Michael Nasch (1946), highlighting elements of problematization and potentialization.
