The methodological procedure was built from frictions raised between the "inside and outside" of the images. It takes as a visual resource about the operations worked in the research, the Möbius tape, in the work Caminhando (1963), by the artist Lygia Clark (1920-1988), because each image and documents found in institutional and personal collections, transformed the construction, as well as the cuts of the ribbon, by unfolding as a spiral, containing several parts. Each one intertwines as the participants cut it. We focus on the construction of the subject's scene in this temporality, to understand the historical processes and the theories developed, in the references and relations with the art system. In this context, we discuss aesthetic regimes and the political aspect of production. The thesis presents the works as a body of painting and defends the artist's poetics as a living archive that performs in the photographic act, converting memories and cultural codes into the production of experiences, in the construction of environments and together with spaces and landscapes.

The research is grounded in a methodological approach that combines artistic practice, theoretical reflection, and critical analysis of artworks using techniques such as screen printing, collagraphy, linocut, and direct impression. Through works like Colcha Gráfica, Brasiliano, Sob o Sol do Nordeste, and the Folhinhas series (2021–2024), the project proposes a sensitive graphic listening to the symbolic layers of the territory, incorporating concepts such as hybridity, belonging, and gesture. By challenging historical stereotypes and exploring printmaking as an expanded language, the study positions artistic practice as a space of resistance, memory, and invention.

It is based on the understanding that storytelling is an ancestral practice, culturally rooted and still central to processes of knowledge and language mediation. The research seeks to articulate concepts from neuroscience, pedagogy, narrative performance, and design with behavioral studies on emotion, in order to propose requirements for the editorial design of illustrated children’s books aimed at affective storytelling. The investigation adopts a qualitative and transdisciplinary approach, composed of theoretical review, interviews with storytellers, and Bardin’s (2011) content analysis, which enabled the unveiling of latent meanings within narratives and the organization of categories capable of articulating emotion, design, and narrative performance. It is grounded in authors such as Damásio, Freire, Van der Linden, Lazzarato, Mariño, Silveira, Manovich, and Barthes, integrating discussions on embodied cognition, modularity, transcodification, and affectivity in design. The results highlight the relevance of editorial design as a mediator of sensitive experiences, capable of enhancing the practice of storytelling and the formation of readers who are more critical, expressive, and connected with the world around them.

The study focuses on the 1940s –– particularly during the remarkable and controversial years of the Estado Novo –– when, working within the state apparatus, he began his professional career and produced some of the most substantial parts of his oeuvre. A pioneer of modernist language in photography and attentive to the city’s landscapes and rhythms, Fraga composed a vast visual inventory of the objects, culture, customs, characters, and landscapes that shaped urban life in Bahia’s capital during that period. His series include a detailed documentation of the reforms promoted by the administration of Durval Neves da Rocha (1938–1942), the second major wave of local modernization. By gathering and interpreting his work, this research shows how Fraga’s photography contributed to preserving the memory of a period that reshaped the Salvador we know today.
