Summary: This paper analyzes photographs retrieved from family “files,” presented by Samuel Gomes in a YouTube video published on the channel Guardei no Armário. It discusses the relations of racialized subjects with the technological (im)possibilities established by the photographic production system, considering them beyond the video’s initial intention of celebration and remembrance. Based on Didi-Huberman’s reflections, these images are seen as testimonies, speech acts, that reveal much about the conditions in which they were produced. This revealed that the racism imbued in the devices contributes to consolidate a pattern of what is beautiful, subsidized in whiteness. The racist technological configuration becomes an obstacle to the construction of Black people’s memory, hindering the preservation of family records such as photographs by racialized subjects, erasing the traits and singularities of those who make up most of the Brazilian people.

Abordamos a relação de sujeitos racializados com as (im)possibilidades tecnológicas instauradas pelo sistema fotográfico de produção, considerando-as para além da intenção inicial do vídeo de celebração e rememoração. A partir das reflexões de Didi-Huberman, observaremos essas imagens como testemunhos, atos de fala, que nos revelam muito sobre as condições nas quais essas imagens foram produzidas. Constatamos que o racismo impregnado nos aparelhos contribui para que a consolidação de um padrão do que é belo subsidiado na branquitude. A configuração tecnológica racista se torna um obstáculo à construção de memória das pessoas negras, dificultando a preservação de registros familiares para sujeitos racializados por meio das fotografias, apagando traços e singularidades de quem compõe a maior parte do povo brasileiro.Universidade Federal da Bahia2022-05-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/contemporaneaposcom/article/view/4589410.9771/contemporanea.v19i3.45894Contemporanea - Revista de Comunicação e Cultura; v. 19 n. 3 (2021): Dossiê Raça, Mídia e Comunicação Antirracista; 79-1001809-9386reponame:Contemporanea (Salvador.
