Entre(olhares): os processos de criação no ato fotográfico de fotógrafos com deficiência visual

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the processes of creation in the photographic act by two photographers with low vision, considering their distinct experiences with the production of photographs. Based on cultural-historical theory, especially the studies by L.S. Vygotski, in dialogue with Dubois, to deal with the photographic act in the study, we debate issues about photography, the conception of disability and the process of human development and of the processes of creation and living/perejivánie. The intertwining of these concepts supports the idea that photography exists as a process from the relationships experienced by the photographer and these experiences are the ones that give support to the subject to build their images. In field research, two in-depth interviews of the semi-open type were carried out in order to understand how the subjects participating in the study became photographers and listed and analyzed their creative strategies in the photographic act. Based on the microgenetic analysis, we point out that there are many possible paths for photography as well as its modes of production. The vision is just one of the components of this doing that is conceived in several stages, and that, assuming photography as a possible cultural practice for people with visual impairments, from an approach in which differences are not marked in a negative way, but in its positivity. In the educational field, possibilities are open for teaching and learning from photography based on an approach to the photographic act, demonstrating that the process of this doing this is not reduced to a final product, but it is about a construction that takes into account the experiences of the subject, pointing, therefore, to proposals for education based on an inclusive perspective in order to overcome the barriers that provoke the impediments.
