Resumo

Este artigo dialoga com os atuais debates sobre identidade social relacionados a determinados círculos pós-coloniais da África Austral, cujas origens europeias podem ser parcialmente rastreadas até a criação do gênero da fotografia colonial. A visualização contemporânea dos africanos não brancos no contexto europeu está ligada a um gênero que nasceu nos tempos do Alto Imperialismo. Como um fruto de sua época, a fotografia colonial lançou as bases para padrões de representação raciais e racistas de certos povos africanos e de seus supostos traços e aparência do ponto de vista do colonizador, criando assim padrões de ver. Até hoje, debates sociais e movimentos políticos estão atrelados à visualização dos povos não brancos. Este projeto é sobre o silenciamento histórico da África subsaariana por meio de imagens estereotipadas e suas ligações com a formação e manutenção de debates identitários pós-coloniais sobre tradições de visualização racializadas na Europa. Essa cegueira visual repetitiva é outra forma de agressão colonial ao perpetuar constantemente certas imagens e imaginários, facilitando, assim, as mentalidades coloniais. Os exemplos apresentados a seguir mostram o alcance dos estereótipos fotográficos coloniais, sem limitar o escopo das tradições de ver às fotografias. Em vez disso, são abarcadas outras áreas de espaços cotidianos visíveis, como nomes de ruas, monumentos, estátuas, processos judiciais e capas de livros.
