Images, words, wounds: dialogues between literature and photography

Abstract

The article discusses the relationship between literature and photography based on the novel O corpo interminável, a narrative in which the theme of photography finds predominance space. For theoretical reading, theorists from the field of photography were selected, such as Benjamin (1996), Barthes (1984), Cartier-Bresson (2015), Sontag (2004), Bazin (1991) and Machado (2015). In the main points developed by the authors, the applicability of the theories to the reading of the literary text was sought, providing an interartistic discourse that enhances new links between literature and photography.
