Resumo: | ||||||||
The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the
photographer´s perception of images of death published in
print media, supported by the works of Michel Maffesoli and
Dominique Wolton. To achieve that objective, ten
photographers were interviewed and asked to provide their
opinions about the publication, production and reception of
images of death, covering topics such as the edition and
manipulation of such images, the publication of pictures in
different kinds of periodicals and the theme of Ethics in
the field of Social Communications. The narratives lead to
the conclusion that the public is generally perceived as
acquiescent to violent images, the lower social classes
above all. There are different rationales associated to
such publications, such as the public´s inclination towards
sheer violence, the brutality of life and the pretext of
photojournalism. There is a concern for extracting the
beauty in death, and to photograph it in a subtle and
indirect manner. Common sense, respect to the masses and
the public´s reaction are considered the main regulating
factors by these publications - codes of ethics are not
mentioned. There is no consensus among the interviewees as
to the occurrence of images of death in relation to the past
and its manipulation. The regulating factors of their
production and publication are mostly ambiguous and
inexplicit.
