Between looks and (in)visibilities: reflections about photography as a dialogic production

The proposal of this article is to tension, in photographs taken by blind children, what is seen and not seen, the visibilities and invisibilities objectified in the photos. Being that the photos conceived as discursive and dialogical production, its reading enables to problematize the relation these children establish with the reality which they live in. As methodological procedures, were elected the photo production and the development of an aesthetic workshop. For the analysis it was established a confrontation of photos on the meaning level, taking the dialogical analysis of speech, from the perception of Bakhtin Circle (2010a). The senses focused bring light to the reality of the children, despite being eye shortage children. This regard was very meaningful: the ways to see/live the world expressed in the images are before anything sights of children.
