Visualidades da Região Lagunar de Maceió: análise da cultura visual com base na tríade 'Água, Lama e Sururu’

Abstract

From the transdisciplinary field of Visual Culture studies, this paper addresses the concepts of visuality, image, territory and identity, presenting an analysis of the visualities of the Triadic Projection 'Water, Mud, and Sururu' in the Lagoon Region of Maceió, Alagoas, and how it is incorporated into the visual illustrations by the artist Víscera for the promotion of the 12th Mostra Sururu de Cinema Alagoano. The analysis is based on the principles outlined by Fernando Hernández for a dialogical visual interpretation of visual representations, leading to the exploration of discourse and the questioning of meanings in relation to the culture and identity of the Lagoon Region. Through this, we observe that the research has shown that the analysis and interpretation of images are not passive processes but involve creative and active acts. Furthermore, it has opened up new perspectives for future investigations into visual representations and self-perceptions from the community’s perspective.
