Images of Dilma Roussef from civil-military dictatorship to impeachment.

A fotografia, entendida em seu valor de testemunho hist?rico e em sua pot?ncia po?tica, pode comportar leituras distintas dos fatos, de como eles foram e de como poderiam ter sido. Este artigo investiga de que modo essas duas facetas se apresentaram em imagens de Dilma Rousseff feitas na ditadura civil-militar e reformuladas durante a campanha eleitoral de 2014 e a luta contra o impedimento de 2016. Por meio da an?lise do processo de transmuta??o (de forma, mas tamb?m de sentido e de adequa??o memorialista) pelo qual passaram essas imagens, avaliam-se as implica??es da mudan?a de temporalidade que as permeou, posto que, recompostas e ressignificadas, as fotos j? n?o aludiam mais a um passado dado e se configuravam como materializa??es de uma inst?ncia simb?lica que apontava para o futuro, para certo horizonte de expectativas. Al?m disso, tenta-se explicitar como, ao propor compara??es entre passado e presente, as imagens inadvertidamente ajudaram a sabotar o amanh? por elas almejado.Photography, understood for its historical value and for its poetic power, may comprise different readings of the facts, as they were and as they might have been. This article investigates how those two aspects are presented in a set of Dilma Rousseff?s images made in civil-military dictatorship and reformulated during her presidential campaign in 2014 and her struggle against impeachment in 2016. By doing so, this analytical approach maps the implications of those photograph?s transformations (which included new meanings and different memoirist associations), especially regarding its temporality ? because, in those new uses, photos no longer refer to the past, but are configured as materializations of a symbolic instance that points to the future, to certain horizon of expectations. Besides that, the paper tries to explain how, proposing comparisons between past and present, the images inadvertently helped to undermine the destiny they are aiming for
