| Summary: | This work aims to establish a reflection on the possibility of dialogue between photography and poetry in Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Understanding photography as a multifaceted phenomenon. In this essay, we focus on photography as a device that allows to capture and to hold the past. Benjamin, Barthes and Sontag’s thoughts about the photographic language, that point to a problematization of this capture and memory fixation, will help us to analyze the poem “Retrato de família” from A rosa do povo (1945), to understand how the poem appropriates the photographic language and its culture uses. We perceive from this analysis the reference to the photograph subverts the belief, which is never questioned, that the photo “preserves” the past in a reliably way, so we could retrieve it, since it was kept in the photographic image. |
