A FANTASIA NO TRABALHO FOTOGRÁFICO DE CHARLES DODGSON: UM OLHAR ENTRE A ICONOLOGIA E A SEMIÓTICA

Marcos Rizolli, Mariana Hossein Fontes

Abstract


Through the semantic interpretations of Charles Dodgson's photographs (author of Alice in Wonderland, under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll), we approach the possible meanings of the embodiment of fantasy. Dodgson is inspired by the little girl Alice Liddell in both creation fields: literature and photography. Besides a writer, he was also mathematician, Anglican clergyman and talented amateur photographer. Starting from the theme "fantasy" present in his photographic work, the scope of the study is the understanding of man's relationship with pictorial signs, which are products of the imagination. Dodgson's photographs have characteristics that often recur in his body of work, attending for analysis, interpretation and categorization. This process develops from the approaches of Warburg and Panofsky’s iconology and Charles S. Peirce’s semiotics.
