Relações entre estruturas e processos semióticos no fotolivro: estudo dos casos Silent Book e Sí por Cuba

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the photobooks as intermedial processes. The purpose is specifically to understand how relationships between different media occur and specify the photobook as a phenomenon which associates and relates several semiotic structures. The study focuses on the investigation of the following works: Silent Book, by Miguel Rio Branco (2012) and Sí por Cuba, by Tatiana Altberb (2005). In these two photobooks, the media border crossing is made of complex relations. Our conclusion is that is not possible to observe the sign processes of the photography without to observe the book as its context. Is necessary to consider the relationship between photography and book to understand all the associations that occur in the photobooks, including the intermedial references that involve literature, cinema, music, architecture, paint, graphite etc. The research is supported by studies of intermediality and based on the C. S. Peirce`s semiotic.
