THE PHOTOGRAPH ASSEMBLING LIFELINES IN DAILY LIFE AT SCHOOL

ABSTRACT: The paper aims to think with children, close to photographs, the life that insists on overflowing amidst the experiences in a public elementary school. Facing the capitalistic attack on bodies in a scenario in which the life is radically impoverished, it discusses the possibility of a photographic reading in the inverse of this force of containment, believing that life and resistance precede attempts of control. It uses as a methodological approach conversation networks with children, triggered by photographs, understanding that the photograph produces and forces the displacement of thoughts and encounters, as it creates vibrating surfaces, produces reunions of times and spaces, recreates the past and illuminates the present, being able to raise a power and a multiplicity of creation of meanings that live and die between the intention of the photographer and the unpredictability-impossibility of a single vision of the photograph. It concludes that children seek to express lifelines that pulsate in the relation of their bodies with other bodies and incorporeal in their daily life as an impulse for the creative movement.
