Abstract

This essay aims to analyse the links between poetry and photography. The conception that the photograph establishes a relation of homology with the referent is questioned by authors such as Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag, Giorgio Agamben and Arlindo Machado. It is from this perspective that we propose a reading of the poem “Em Sarajevo” by Claudia Roquette-Pinto, arguing that the poet embodies in the poetic text references to photographic images with the purpose of highlighting a problematic relationship between the reality and what photography captures.
