A imagem da música no espaço público em Ponta Grossa (PR) de 2010 a 2014: implicações geográficas do fotojornalismo cultural

Abstract

This research problematizes the geographic implications of cultural photojournalism, taking pictures of occurrences or situations of musical expression in the public space. It seeks to answer how the photographs inscribe the music in the urban cultural landscape by analyzing the online collection of published photos of the Lente Quente extension project of the Journalism course of the Ponta Grossa State University (UEPG), from 2010 to 2014. Auxiliary collections and reference photos are mobilized for the purpose of understanding the diversity of photographic records used in the form of representing the music and also its continuities or similarities. It is understood that the visibility of the music is structured in the convergence between the street photography, the photographic documentarism of the city, the journalistic action of photographic coverage of events in public square and streets and in the historical dimension of the craft of photographers focused on the recording of life musical in the city. One finds in the Benjaminian figure of the flâneur, in the visual reverberations of the city and in the mobility of photographers in the early twentieth century a key to understanding variations in the way to operate the capture of the local musical scene in the public space.
