SUMMARY:

This thesis aims to understand how the production of images by Black photographers from the peripheries of northeastern Brazil relates to intersectionalities (Davis, 2016; Akotirene, 2019) among territory, class, gender, and other social markers. The main objective is to investigate photographic practice in northeastern peripheral communities as a decolonial act of self-representation, re-existence, and re-signification. This research also addresses the construction of Black-peripheral counter-visuality, which rewrites narratives and images about the Black body through artivism and visual strategies and policies of Blackness. From this perspective, this thesis reflects on theories about image, race, and representation (Hall, 2006, 2016; Fanon, 2008; Kilomba, 2017; Maldonado-Torres, 2019; Mombaça, 2021; Souza, 2021), locates the devices for capturing images (Sealy, 2016; Campt, 2017; Azoulay, 2021) as decolonial war instruments, sheds light on the formation of counter-visuality (Mirzoeff, 2011, 2016) from the Black gaze (hooks, 2019) that guides contemporary photographic practice of Blackness (Meirinho, 2021) in opening pathways for new cosmoperceptions (Oyěwùmí, 1997; Santos, 2019) about the Black-peripheral population. Through a methodological path that takes place at the crossroads, it proposes to analyze the intentionality behind the production of photographers from the Northeast mapped by the research project Olhos Negros (UFRN), as well as reflect on their photographic productions based on a discursive analysis identifying the traces and decolonial symbols present in these photographs. It is perceived that northeastern Black-peripheral photography connects through cultural, religious, historical representations, among others, that are shared in these territories through common experiences and ancestral practices of resistance and world recreation.
