SUMMARY:

In this thesis, I analyze the process of racialization of Black and poor bodies through the visual collection produced by the Salvador City Urban Planning Office (EPUCS) in the post-abolition context. The choice of the post-abolition period as the setting for this narrative emphasizes the persistent and conflicting historiographical gap, particularly between the 1920s and 1950s, when it comes to the daily survival and tensions of Black bodies in the city of Salvador. The central objective of this thesis is to consider the EPCUS as part of a set of institutions that plotted to construct a new visuality associated with the city based on the racialization and criminalization of the Black body, seeking to subjugate it to a place of subordination. Thus, methodologically, I understand the photographic body and the photographic experience as a practice of producing social meaning. In contrast, I problematize the housing reports, epidemiological surveys and the set of sources produced by EPUCS, which, under the yoke of eugenic improvement, assumed its most violent face, promoting interventions against the ways of life of Black and poor bodies.
