Portrait, Photography, Personhood, Image, Individual, Madalena SchwartzAbstract
In this article I analyze the oeuvre of Madalena Schwartz, a Hungarian photographer based in São Paulo since the 1960s, responsible for the creation of a substantial visual archive of Brazil at the end of the 20th century through portraiture. With her work as a starting point, I explore the meaning of portraiture for the construction of modern imagination and its implications in conceptual discussions about image, physicality, personhood, likeness and individual in anthropology. In my approach to the portraits by Madalena Schwartz I conceptually engage with the phenomenological turn in the study of photography in the social sciences, which privileges the experiential level over the semiotic. The portrait, thus, involves engagement and experience and is constituted through social relations. In this sense, the portrait is taken as a materialization of the relationship between the photographer and the photographedDownloads
