Contextualização e complexidades temporais: um exercício a partir da narrativa jornalística

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss the contextualization processes as a methodological tool in the analysis of journalistic narratives. In this sense, a discussion about the “context” is recovered from the theoretical point of view, seeking to consider the complex temporal networks in textual relations. Then, an analytical gesture is proposed based on the different ways of contextualizing a photographic image on the pages of a printed newspaper. As a methodology, we adopted the selection of a page of the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, which contains an Esso Award-winning photograph, collating with other journalistic photographs, investigating them as situated in specific contexts, but also as themselves contextualizing agents.
