Abstract

The article analyzes the relationship between production of images, media visibility and citizenship of the Haitian immigration in Brazil. We collected in spaces of the Internet and analyzed the positions and disputes around a specific episode involving the production and publication "without consent" of the photo of a Haitian immigrant in the newspapers Agora and Folha São Paulo. Theoretically guided by the notions of image, visibility and citizenship, the obtained results problematize the relationship between aesthetics and politics in the order of the contemporary migrations´ visual images and the impact of a compulsory media visibility that deposes agency from immigrants and decontextualizes the migration processes.
