SUMMARY:

The research analyzes the role of photography in the context of imperialism and colonialism, based on the visuality given to black people and landscapes in 19th century Brazil. With the aim of investigating how photography was used to impose an external and colonizing gaze on the country, perpetuating stereotypes and promoting a visual imaginary of national identity, the text also examines how the categories of portrait and landscape were shaped by an imperial gaze, highlighting how visuality was fundamental in the invention of the racial Other and Brazil's identity as a nation project. Inspired by the principle of wandering and the concept of fugitivity (Motten; Harvey), the methodology involves a fabulative interpretation (Hartman) of images and archives, highlighting unrecorded everyday lives through narrative re-elaborations. The text concludes by questioning the possibilities of conjuring the historical gap into an imaginative power open to multiplicity, especially considering the context of production of 19th century photographs in Brazil.
