SUMMARY:

This research seeks to map images that approach a perception of the world marked by the experience of the tragic. Noticing the possibility of evidence or tracing unresolvable conflicts, terrible fate, falling image, and destruction of the subjective world aligned with reality outside the subject. I am interested in images circulating in Brazil, mainly since 2013 and circulating in the recent political scenario. Images that arise in journalism and in visual arts and extrapolate an individualexperience of suffering, reaching aesthetic and political meanings. Could this movement be mapped and arranged as a constellation of collective pain experience? I invest in the notion of allegory as a theoretical tool for the methodological practice of articulating these images, even without a sense of unity among themselves, and going beyond the dynamics that are being exhibited. Here, an allegory is not only a synonym for metaphor, but as a constitution of a parameter that allows the immediate meaning of the image to be opened. The overall objective is to understand how images selected as possible remote experiences in Brazil, although it is aesthetic that relates a past and present. Some of the hypotheses that are tested are: 1) observe the occurrence of a tragic experience as a response and construct a form of sensibility (aesthetic) in the face of moments of intensification of the perception of vulnerability of human life; 2) to test the viability of the allegory concept as a methodological tool for the study of images; 3) the possibility of understanding street protests and demonstrations as a way of reviving ritualistic dimensions that enhance symbolic images; 4) propose a dramatic theory of images, thinking of them as actors and acting agents of contemporary theater experience.
