As marcas do "atraso" na São Paulo que se moderniza: fotografia, cidade e os trabalhadores ambulantes de Vincenzo Pastore no início do século XX

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to understand and study the existing relationships between photography and history, as well as their links with the city of São Paulo at the beginning of the 20th century. Seeking to understand the role of photography as a historical source and understanding them as a language, photographs of common workers, street vendors, produced by the Italian-Brazilian “daily photographer” Vincenzo Pastore will be handled, seeking to capture the experiences of these subjects, who most of the times are not portrayed in their true realities, but forgotten. For this, sources other than photographs will be used, such as municipal acts and laws of the time and some newspaper reports. In addition, the objective is to understand the relationship between the city and photography, seeking to understand how these subjects live the city of São Paulo, which spaces they occupied and how they resisted the attempts of the city to control their activities, realizing which rights the city had these subjects.
