Resumo
The research Registros de memória em imagens: usos e funções da
fotografia mortuária em contexto familiar na cidade de Bela Vista de Goiás (1920 –
1960) proposes analysis about the ways in which bereaved families used the
portraits of the deceased during the mourning period. For this, we fixed the town of
Bela Vista de Goiás as the space for research, trying to establish relations between
the content expressed in the photographs collected in the town and the cultural
context that was around the production and use of these images. The mortuary
portrait appeared practically at the same time of the photographic technique, and
enjoyed a great social acceptance in Brazil and in other western societies until the
middle of the twentieth century. There are certain ideas expressed in these
portraits of a Christian collective mentality about death, especially the imaginary
about the good and the beautiful death. In Bela Vista de Goiás we found the
interference of the Catholic faith in the building and in several uses that families of
the town have did with the pictures of their dead, as a way of keeping alive his
memory. This study, therefore, try to contribute with discussions about the
collective attitudes towards death and death rituals, and reflect about a specific
type of use of the photograph in a process of building family memories.
