Mediação cultural e leitura de registros fotográficos em álbuns de família: análise da fotografia de Fernando Maia da Cunha

Abstract

The present study corresponds to a bibliographical and qualitative research that presents the theme of cultural mediation in the context of the registers present in family photo albums. From a literature review, it investigates the mediational processes from the readings reached with the representations in analog photographs in contemporaneity, in which the practicalities around photography in the digital aspect become more and more present. It proposes a debate on the issues of memory construction and its relationship with time. Therefore, concepts related to culture, memory, representation, mediation and imaginary are presented in order to contribute to the discussion of the theme and analysis of the data collected from four photographic projects published on the website of the photographer Fernando Maia da Cunha, considering their direct relationship with the research approach.
