Signatures of gazes: an analysis of the photobiography of José Cardoso Pires
| Summary: | The present article aims to analyse hypotheses for reading and understanding a photobook from a specific case: the photobiography. To do so, we take as object of study the photobiography of the writer José Cardoso Pires by Inês Pedrosa, published one year after the author's death. In a predominantly visual genre, we intend to explore the concept of narrativity, commonly associated with the structure of verbal texts. Furthermore, we look into the relations between text and image, within the photobiography, for the production of a third genre: the essay, which is inserted in the work through the text-montage O cirurgião das palavras, also by Inês Pedrosa. Thus, the photobiography is analysed from symbolic, narrative, and rhetorical perspectives. |
