Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the photojournalism of the periodical A Classe Operária, organ of the Brazilian Communist Party, between 1925 and 1953, date of foundation until the last available copy. Although the historiographical production on the PCB is vast, the party's photojournalism is a source ignored by historiography. From the survey of all the photographs published in the available sources for this period, we built a documentary series, in chronological order, covering the cliché and all the texts that refer to it (title, subtitle, report, etc.). We then analyzed the representation of the characters and scenarios present in these images, the emphases and absences of the PCB's photojournalistic discourse. We conclude by showing how, far from being a neutral, objective source that illustrates the report, the published photographs are loaded with meaning and contribute to the history of the PCB as much as the textual discourse.
