Sobre mulheres e fotografia: uma construção da identidade indígena por Sebastião Salgado

Abstract

It is undeniable the importance of photography to capture moments, to record important important events, for the construction of visual identities. Given its documental its documental value, it is considered, in the contemporaneity, one of the most used communication modes. For this work3 we selected photographs by Sebastião Salgado (2013, 2018) in order to analyze via narrative and conceptual processes of the Representational metafunction, from the Grammar of Visual Design (GDV) of Gunther Kress and Theo van Leeuwen (2006[1996]) and slightly going through the metafunctions Interactive and Compositional metafunctions. Being of an interdisciplinary nature, this research finds in Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) (2001[1992], 2003) and Michael Halliday's Systemic-Functional Linguistics (SFL) (1994[1985]). The latter, for being the pioneer in converging linguistic science to the relations with the social context as a place of meaning, the former for considering aspects related to discursive and social discursive and social practices and the order of discourse where the representations of representations of social practice. From the cut made in the corpus, we chose to analyze 4 (four) photographs preferring the indigenous representations that reveal women of the Zo'é ethnicity of the Zo'é (PA), Korubo (AM), Yanomami (RR) ethnic groups, considered isolated from indigenous people. We believe in the power of the aforementioned theories to expand interdisciplinary linguistic interdisciplinary linguistic studies to multimodal, analytical and critical-discursive research involving photography. Salgado's photographic work is constituted as the visible part visible part of a social process that shapes the maintenance of established discourses and aspects of entrenched power and domination with regard to the social patterns of indigenous and indigenous and non-indigenous women. We conclude that the photographs presented in this work signal through the representations a discursive practice of patriarchy present in the ideological gaze of the photographer by capturing images of the participants interactive. This practice is consistent with the social practices still present in the ethnicities This practice is in line with social practices still present in the analysed ethnic groups which are equally patriarchal.
