Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação pretende revelar a forma como o evento Primavera Árabe foi
representado nas fotografias vencedoras do concurso World Press Photo 2012, a partir da
análise da narrativa visual das imagens premiadas. O trabalho procura evidenciar que as
fotografias, devido às suas características e opções formais, transmitem determinados
discursos, sentidos e valores ideológicos.
Consideramos, assim, que as fotografias jornalísticas, embora se apresentem como
retratos objetivos do mundo, são construções subjetivas, que condicionam a perceção dos
indivíduos e influenciam as suas práticas sociais.
As imagens analisadas foram distinguidas pelo World Press Photo, um dos concursos
mais prestigiados de fotojornalismo, que dignifica os fotógrafos vencedores e visa
promover elevados padrões de qualidade no seio da fotografia jornalística. Os trabalhos
fotográficos, ao serem premiados pelo concurso, adquirem uma visibilidade imensa, a
partir da divulgação nos órgãos de comunicação social, mas também através da exposição
itinerante que percorre dezenas de países, anualmente.
As fotografias vencedoras do World Press Photo 2012, que também circularam pelo
mundo, não retratam a Primavera Árabe em todas as suas dimensões. Ao longo deste
trabalho iremos revelar que essas fotografias são apenas seleções de determinados
momentos, que transmitem certas compreensões acerca da Revolta Árabe.
ABSTRACT: The following thesis aims to reveal how the Arab Spring event was represented in the award-winning images of the World Press Photo 2012, by analyzing the visual narrative of those images. This work intends to show that photographs, due to their features and formal options, transmit certain discourses, meanings and ideological values. Therefore, we consider that journalistic photographs, though they present themselves as objective portraits of the world, are subjective constructions that limit the perception of individuals and influence their social practices. The images analyzed in this work were distinguished by World Press Photo, one of the most prestigious photojournalism contests, which dignifies winning photographers and aims to promote high quality standards in news photography. The photographic works, by being awarded, acquire huge visibility in the media, but also through the travelling exhibition, which reaches dozens of countries, every year. The award-winning images of the World Press Photo 2012, which also circulated around the world, do not portray the Arab Spring in all its spectrum. Throughout this work,we will show that those photographs are just selections of certain moments, which convey certain understandings regarding the Arab Revolt.
