Initially, it examines the materiality of the image, demonstrating how its rhetorical effectiveness denounced the crisis in Sudan while also marginalizing the victim’s identity, reducing her to a universal symbol of hunger. It then explores the tension between documentary record and public reception, highlighting the paradox between the photograph’s institutional recognition through the Pulitzer Prize and the severe moral judgment directed at the photographer for his alleged inaction. Finally, it investigates the psychological consequences of the demand for distance and objectivity. Carter’s tragic suicide illustrates the burden of alienated labor and the limits of the witnessing gaze, concluding that photojournalism operates on a conflicted boundary between the professional duty to inform and the human imperative to intervene.

It is grounded in the assumption that clothing not only shapes public appearance but also actively contributes to the formation of political imaginaries and the consolidation of symbolic legitimacy. The research covers the period from 2019 to 2025, marked by intense political polarization in Brazil, a context in which the visual performances of First Ladies gained centrality on digital social media. Adopting a qualitative approach rooted in Cultural Studies, the study examines posts published on their official Instagram profiles, particularly those related to highly visible events, in order to understand how visual narratives about femininity and power are articulated. Methodologically, the study is based on the creation of image panels inspired by the Atlas Mnemosyne by Aby Warburg and its reinterpretation by Georges Didi-Huberman, highlighting symbolic survivals and dialogues across different temporalities. The findings reveal recurrences, tensions, and shifts in the aesthetic choices of Janja and Michelle, understood as strategies that contribute to shaping imaginaries about women’s place in the political sphere. The study concludes that fashion operates as a strategic component of contemporary political communication, functioning as an arena of symbolic dispute and contributing to the reconfiguration of the figure of the First Lady in Brazil.

Drawing on Patrick Charaudeau’s concept of discursive ethos, it was possible to identify and classify the types of self-image projected by the congressman in his digital content and measure engagement rates corresponding to each discursive category. Thirteen posts published during the final week of the 2022 electoral campaign were analyzed. The posts were categorized according to six predominant types of ethos: authority, power, solidarity, virtue, character, and humanity. In parallel, the public engagement rate of each post was calculated based on likes and comments. The results showed that the ethos of humanity, solidarity, and character had the highest average engagement rates, while the ethos of power and virtue had the lowest. The emotional connotation of the post comments was also analyzed, revealing significant variations among the different ethos types, with the ethos of power standing out for having the highest proportion of negative comments. The study concludes that the political ethos associated with engagement can be an important indicator of electoral performance. These findings deepen the discussion on political communication in digital media and provide a foundation for future research in political discourse analysis.

Audiovisual has characteristics that simulate independent and traditional journalism, thus promoting informational disorder in disguise to mobilize polarization and hate speech against women. The method used to investigate the repercussion of part of the audience was the sentiment analysis, in which the machine learns to read the texts and understand the feeling present in the utterance. The results showed that the negative and positive feelings are about the following factors: the documentary series, the producers, who made the publication, the actors in the case, the discrediting of the victim, misrepresentation of the meaning of freedom of expression and the contestation of the Law. Therefore, the analysis covers issues that permeate Journalism, Law and the manifestations of society while exposing their opinions in the digital arena.
