FOTOGRAFIAS QUE NARRAM HISTÓRIAS

O PROJETO FOTOGRÁFICO DIECISIETE, DE EDUARDO RAWDRÍGUEZ

Abstract

Through a critical reading of the artistic procedures in contact-contagions and the relationship between body, photography and discourse in the Cuban photographic series Diecisiete (2009-2010), by Eduardo Rawdríguez, we analyze the aesthetic procedures and the overflows between the literary and the photographic, based on Freund (1976), Sontag (1983), Brizuela (2014) and Butler (2015). Then, we discuss sexuality as a central issue for the debate around the notion of biopolitics (FOUCAULT, 1988) and the control of sexualities and bodies as it emerges in the project. Thus, we discuss policies and practices that censor subjectivities, such as the abjection of bodies (BUTLER, 2000, 2002; GIORGI, 2014), since the photographic project presents the problematic about subjectivities, violence and power in a certain Cuban context of the last decades.
