UMA PANDEMIA DE IMAGENS

O FOTOJORNALISMO COMO TESTEMUNHA OCULAR DA CRISE DA COVID-19

Abstract

The experience of journalistic coverage of the Covid-19 crisis is an interesting context to discuss theoretical and practical aspects about the sociocultural consequences and impacts of image in journalism. This article aims to structurally analyze this issue, in order to try to establish some perspectives that contemplate the protagonism of photojournalism in the context of the pandemic. The work to be developed is the observation of the dynamics of the relationship between reality and the dimension of the imaginary. Develop a study based on the imagery experience and the ability of photography to create a simulacrum of the quarantined world. Observe the dialectic between form and content of images that inform readers - increasingly connected, due to the fact that they are cloistered - about a world that is no longer the same. More than ever, the window to reality is photography in newspapers and news sites around the world.
