Abstract

The Vale do Jequitinhonha is known for its mineral wealth and cultural diversity, however, opportunely, the recognition “valley of misery” was built by political actions and the press to represent the region. The purpose of this work is to give new meaning to this social representation, based on a photoethnography developed with people from the Comunidade Quilombola do Ausente, in the municipality of Serro/MG. For this, based on previous works that discussed this performance of the press and the economic interests behind this constructed recognition, we sought to expand the debates already presented and based on the coexistence with the quilombolas, we built a photoethnography that could be an alternative to represent the region. A relationship built by rethinking concepts and values, and provoking them to also bring a particular look to present their community, in addition to participating, in some way, in the final editing of the images.
