The history of the radical photography collective Half Moon Photography Workshop has not so far been the subject of in-depth research in accounts of 1970s British photography. At a moment when ...photography was gradually gaining recognition as an art form, its radical voice and independent stance played a fundamental role in shaping the photographic landscape in Britain. Between 1972 and 1985, Half Moon Photography Workshop initiated pioneering debates on the politics of photographic representation and the reinvention of documentary practices and was instrumental in the emergence of photographic theory. Based on archival research and interviews conducted with some founding members, this detailed history examines the initial project, tensions, and evolution of the organization, which started as the Half Moon Gallery in 1972, became the Half Moon Photography Workshop in October 1975, and eventually Camerawork in 1981, taking the name of its successful photography magazine Camerawork published from 1976. As a gallery, a publishing project, and a resource center equipped with darkrooms open to all, the East End organization acted as a catalyst in the expanding British photographic landscape of the 1970s. The new political context of the 1980s and unresolved internal tensions caused its demise in 1985.
Discute-se a produção e uso de inscrições no percurso de uma pesquisa junto à unidade de atendimento de crianças e adolescentes do Hospital Psiquiátrico São Pedro em Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil. ...Oficinas de mapas e de fotografia foram propostas com o intuito de os jovens produzirem um plano com legitimidade diferenciada quanto aos planos existentes em sua internação hospitalar (prontuários, livro de ocorrência). As diferenças entre a produção de mapas e de fotografias permitiram especificar a noção epistemológica plano de inscrição, na qual estabelecemos três campos de análise: uma posição de observação frente ao plano, as condições técnicas de sua produção e a posição destes planos nos jogos de verdade. Evidenciou-se a necessidade de um questionamento sobre as técnicas envolvidas na produção de conhecimento, já que o uso de artefatos técnicos articula de maneira específica o campo do discurso e as materialidades que o suportam.
The production and use of inscription within research at a unit caring for children and adolescents at the São Pedro Psychiatric Hospital, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, is discussed. Workshops on maps and photography were proposed, with the aim that the young people could produce a plan with differentiated legitimacy in relation to the existing plans for their hospitalization (medical files and occurrence books). The differences in the production of maps and photographs made it possible to specify the epistemological notion of inscription plans, from which three fields of analysis were established: a position from which to observe the plan, the technical conditions for producing it and the position of such plans in truth games. The need to question the techniques involved in knowledge production was shown, since the use of technical artifacts specifically connects the field of discourse and the material issues that support it.
