This work analyses the aesthetic representation of the discourse of humanitarianism based on the role of the humanitarian as the main character of the heroic narrative of international politics. Understood as ensemble of techniques and procedures, humanitarianism classifies and reinforces discipline related to international politics through individual and collective behavior. This dissertation argues that this organization can be identified through the analysis of this discourse, especially in the pictures related to humanitarian politics and usually used on humanitarian campaigns by international humanitarian organizations and nongovernmental organizations. Campaigns that explore the identification and reflection of the spectator to its iconography tend to contribute to this construction of the humanitarian as the hero of the international politics, meaning the individual that saves and solves the problems and crises of the international, such as conflicts, suffering, hunger, poverty, and environment crises. The images of the humanitarian hero contribute to its perpetuation as a modern myth, a model of conduct of the individual action regarding international politics and distant suffering that ironically mobilizes a collective moral through self-centered gratification.
