FOTOGRAFIA, GÊNERO E CIDADE: BELA VISTA DE GOIÁS SOB AS LENTES DE ANTÔNIO FARIA.

Abstract

In this dissertation, our goal was to use the photographs of Antonio Faria (1914-2009) to analyze the contribution of men and women in the construction and development of the town of Bela Vista de Goias, in the period in which the photographer worked actively and publicly, between the years 1930 to 1996. We assume that society functioned as belavistense a complex network of social genre producer / breeder of results related to male / female, effected in bodies, behaviors and socio-cultural relations. For this, we support the theorists who have authority, in discussions about the concept of photography, genre, city, and memory representation. The study was developed primarily through analysis of photographs, documents, bibliographical material and interviews with people who were involved directly or indirectly in many aspects surveyed. Thus, one can understand the contribution of photography as fundamental support for the study and understanding of active participation of men and women in Bela Vista, in the period proposed, and how the images are meant to preserve the memory and reveal the representations in these a time and place.
