Abstract

COCO, Dilza; MACEDO, Érika Sabino de; LEITE, Priscila de Souza Chisté  and  FONTE, Sandra Soares Della. A Methodological Proposal on Photographic Discourse in the Academic Research Context. NTQR [online]. 2021, vol.7, pp.313-320.  Epub Nov 11, 2021. ISSN 2184-7770.  https://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.7.2021.313-320.

The research carried out in the Professional Master in Humanities Teaching by the Group of Studies and Research on Education in the City and Humanities have presented difficulties in using the photographic image in a contextualized and aesthetic way. To decrease this problem, a training course was planned and conducted as a short course, with the theme “Photography in academic research”. Based on this experience, this article aims to present the methodology developed in that short course. This minicourse was executed in a virtual way and had twelve participants, among them students and graduates of the Professional Master in Humanities Teaching, as well as undergraduates in Pedagogy of Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo. The theoretical-methodological framework adopted in the course was inspired by the philosopher of language Mikhail Bakhtin. This text shows the formative course of the course, highlighting each of the five meetings and then discusses the analysis of the written productions of the participants. It concludes that the course contributed to the change in thinking about the use of photography in academic research, considering that the participants incorporated the discussions held in the course into the written texts they created. Based on this experience, it is possible to think that such an initiative can be shared in other contexts as long as the photograph is recognized as a discourse that has a historical, ideological, aesthetic and dialogical character, that is, considering its plastic aspects (color, composition, etc.), the context in which it was produced, the social formation of the photographer, the communication between photographic images and other visual / verbal texts; and the reception by readers who can assign different meanings to them.
