Abstract in another language

Este ensaio apresenta uma reflexão sobre o poder testemunhal de fotografias tiradas no campo de extermínio nazista de Auschwitz-Birkenau. Pretende-se, a partir delas, problematizar a relação entre fotografia, memória e história, na medida em que tais imagens nos podem fornecer uma possibilidade de pensarmos como um testemunho visual pode aperfeiçoar grandes narrativas históricas da representação do holocausto – desde um objeto de memória de natureza tipicamente mediada (VAN DJICK, 2007). Nesses termos, a fotografia se manifesta aqui contra as vontades de desaparecimento, ligando-se à memória coletiva e à temporalidade. Finalmente, buscar-se-á entender como o político e o poético se entrecruzam nessas imagens, pensadas por Didi-Huberman (2012) como um ato contra a própria razão da história e contra a política de desimaginação e do inimaginável, dando um novo rumo às representações públicas do holocausto, em oposição à proposta da Shoah Foundantion.

Abstract in another language

This essay reflects the testimonial power of photographs taken at the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. From this analysis, it is intended to problematize the relationship between photography, memory, and history, insofar as such images provide us with a possibility to think about how a personal testimony can improve grand historical narratives of the representation of the Holocaust-from a memory object of a typically mediated nature (VAN DJICK, 2007). In these terms, photography manifests itself against the will to disappear, linking itself to collective memory and temporality. Finally, we will seek to understand how the political and the poetic intertwine in these images, thought by Didi-Huberman (2012) as an act against the very reason of history and the politics of unimagination and the unimaginable, giving a new direction to public representations of the Holocaust, in opposition to the Shoah Foundation's proposal.
