Fotografias poderão dar testemunho do trauma de refugiados no Brasil?

Abstract

Based on photographs of refugees included in the pamphlets of Cáritas Arquidiocesana de São Paulo, we intent to verify whether the images promote an experience of crisis which may testify to the past immerse in the trauma of the refugees in Brazil. We analyze the content and the shape of these photographs, showing up the portraits of the refugees of different ages, both sexes and different regions of the world, as well as the sceneries of the refuge. We discovered that the images follow the aesthetic principle of stylization and do not avoid that the horror repeats.
