Traces of the Unseen: Photography, Violence, and Modernization in Early Twentieth-Century Latin America situates photography's role in documenting the destruction wrought by infrastructure development and extractive capitalist expansion in the Amazon and outside the Brazilian metropole. Combining formal analysis of individual photographs with their inclusion in larger multimedia assemblages, Carolina Sa Carvalho explores how this visual evidence of violence was framed, captioned, cropped, and circulated. As she explains, this photographic creation and circulation generated a pedagogy of the gaze with which increasingly connected urban audiences were taught what and how to see: viewers learned to interpret the traces of violence captured in these images within the larger context of modernization.Traces of the Unseen draws on works by Flavio de Barros, Euclides da Cunha, Roger Casement, Claude Levi-Strauss, and Mario de Andrade to situate an unruly photographic body at the center of modernity, in all its disputed meanings. Moreover, Sa Carvalho locates historically specific practices of seeing within the geopolitical peripheries of capitalism. What emerges is a consideration of photography as a technology through which modern aspirations, moral inclinations, imagined futures, and lost pasts were represented, critiqued, and mourned"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Documentary photography $z Brazil $x History. 650 0 $a Documentary photography $x Social aspects $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Brazilian literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and photography. 650 0 $a Civilization, Modern. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Civilization. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / American / Hispanic & Latino. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PHOTOGRAPHY / History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Brazilian literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00838112 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Civilization, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863073 650 7 $a Documentary photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896093 650 7 $a Documentary photography $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896097 650 7 $a Literature and photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000089 651 7 $a Brazil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206830 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a FlashPoints (Evanston, Ill.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=450C94940CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
