Description
Summary:This paper purpose to reflect about how some exemples from the photojournalism today treat the suffering situations to construct a reading using aspects from melodrama. Sharing the conception “melodramatic imagination” from Peter Brooks (1995) that it understands its concepts stops beyond the delimitation of a sort or of the simple setting of a systematic model of narrative, but as a “way to see and to try the world”, this text indicates aspects of the relation between photojournalism and melodrama, in wich the figures of the personages and its emphasis in their private histories in such a way assume how much special and especific treatment in these vehicles. This approach, however, beyond requesting an affective engagement of the look considers, to the spectator, a moral landmark in the way as it tries these images.
