A vertente conceptual do meu arquivo fotográfico estrutura-se em três categorias: séries, ensaios, projectos. As séries são os conjuntos mais abrangentes, a partir dos quais podem nascer ensaios e projectos. O meu mais recente livro, "Ainda Há Luz nas Janelas", que será apresentado no próximo dia 5 de Novembro, nasce precisamente de uma série intitulada "Retrato de Portugal — Quantos Retratos São Precisos para Fazer um Retrato?". A imagem que aqui apresento integra outra série, a que chamo "Fotopinturas". O título é deliberadamente mordaz e remete para uma questão antiga: a tendência para avaliar a fotografia segundo critérios que pertencem à pintura. Em 1859, Charles Baudelaire, no seu texto "O Público Moderno e a Fotografia", criticou a crescente valorização da fotografia enquanto instrumento de reprodução fiel da realidade, defendendo a autonomia da criação artística e a distinção entre as diferentes linguagens. Não se trata de lhe atribuir a expressão «fotopinturas», mas de reconhecer na sua crítica uma questão que permanece actual. Passou mais de um século e meio e, apesar de toda a evolução técnica e conceptual da fotografia, continuamos a cometer o mesmo erro: julgar uma imagem fotográfica pela sua aproximação à pintura, como se a fotografia precisasse de imitar outra linguagem para justificar a sua existência. A fotografia tem os seus próprios referentes, a sua própria história e as suas próprias possibilidades expressivas. Quando a avaliamos exclusivamente à luz de critérios alheios à sua natureza, não estamos a aprofundar a compreensão da fotografia. Estamos apenas a limitar aquilo que somos capazes de reconhecer nela.. #RuiCamposFotografia #Fotopinturas #Fotografia #LinguagemFotográfica #PensamentoFotográfico #EstéticaFotográfica #HistóriaDaFotografia #CharlesBaudelaire #FotografiaContemporânea #FotografiaDeAutor #ImagemFotográfica #TeoriaDaFotografia #FotografiaComoLinguagem #ArteEFotografia

Arthur Machado stated that if Lula lost the elections on the 25th, sectors of the right that defined themselves by anti-PT sentiment could be left without a central opponent, since, according to him, they had not built an alternative project for the country. Machado criticized a portion of the liberal right, which, in his view, repeated slogans without presenting proposals to attract investments, modernize laws, or promote coexistence with divergent views. He also mentioned that the PT could fragment and compete for space among leaders after Lula. As an example, he cited European sectors that, according to him, reorganized their political identity around fighting other groups, including the radical right. Machado stated that without a consistent national project, former opponents of the PT could start targeting Eduardo Bolsonaro and other movements in search of new adversaries. The author also said that the criticisms of the "5th element" came from groups without a project or knowledge about Brazil and claimed that political groups that treated law as a tool for control, rather than as a guarantee of rights and freedoms, were technocratic and promoted a Chinese governance model. He concluded that the problem for these sectors would be discovering that they never had a project to replace Lula as an opponent. #PolíticaBrasil #Antipetismo #Lula (translated)

Stereo Hodler said he did not know if PregoneroL would insult him, but he considered it a moral obligation to acknowledge that he had given him the idea of measuring municipal employees.

Attention, Vasco fans! It was reported that the President of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), Minister Luis Felipe Salomão, did not grant, on Thursday (15), the request from Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. to suspend the decision that authorized Vasco x Boca Juniors at Maracanã on October 20 at 9:30 PM for the semifinal of the Copa Sul-Americana. According to the report, Salomão considered that the concessionaire, constituted by Flamengo and Fluminense, did not have the legitimacy to appeal to this legal instrument, as it is a private company and does not act as a delegate of public service. The minister also understood that the choice of the stadium did not constitute a primary public interest that would justify the exceptional request. The publication stated that Fla-Flu Serviços had claimed risks related to the meeting of the fans, the operation of the stadium, the pitch, and the need for a minimum interval of 72 hours between matches. According to the report, Salomão concluded that the company did not prove a serious threat to public order, security, or the economy. He also pointed out that the transfer of the basketball game between Flamengo and Botafogo alleviated some of the concerns. Furthermore, according to Attention, Vasco fans!, the minister considered that potential damage to the pitch would not constitute serious harm to public assets nor justify the suspension. The publication added that he evaluated that the request could not substitute for a judicial appeal and that any questioning regarding the actions of judges from the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro should follow the appropriate appeal channels. The decision maintained the authorization for the match at Maracanã without suspension by the STJ. The publication described the outcome as a procedural victory for Vasco but noted that it did not end all possibilities for judicial contestation. It also informed that the decision concerning Safety Suspension No. 3,678/RJ was signed at 12:49 PM on October 15, 2026. #Vasco #BocaJuniors #Maracanã (translated)
