The subject of this research is photojournalism and its montage in printed news, being limited to the analyses of photo-essays by Sebastião Salgado in Folha de S. Paulo. The main objective is to investigate the possibility of, through photojournalistic montage, triggering a relational cognitive process in the reader, who would then start to construct alternative visibilities from a given visualitity, questioning the fixed nature of knowledge. Therefore, the problem lies in the possible performance of photojournalism as a counter-dispositive through artistic procedures and the construction of temporalities. It is a hypothesis that the journalistic discourse acts as a dispositive, naturalizing market logic and reducing the potential of the images to mere esthesis. Another hypothesis suggests that the image monument presents a single homogeneous point of view of the news that does not correspond to popular imagery, which articulates itself with a variety of cultural texts, in a cultural and temporal regime specific to latin-american societies. This research is built around Image and Media Theories, and Culture Semiotics, in its attempt to further understand the communicative processes of photojournalism. To this end, it will discuss Rancière s theory (2009a e 200b) about image operations from the aesthetic point of view, Agamben´s theory (2008) regarding the dispositive, Debord s (1997) Society of the Spectacle , and Morin s (2008) complex understanding of the social-cultural processes. Temporality and its construction through mass media s narratives, the monumentalizing process of images, as well as the post-modern tendency of the eternal present time will be analyzed with the help of the works of Lavoie (2003), Bellevance (2003) and Latour (2009). It will explore the relation between theses theories and Benjamin s philosophy (1987, 2007, 2008) regarding history and technical reproduction, as well as Didi-Huberman s (1998) reading of Benjamin s dialectical image. Also relevant for this research are the works of Lotman (1969, 1996, 1999), Santos (2010) e Zizek (2011)
