Abstract: A partir da análise de dois textos paradigmáticos sobre a fotografia, um de Charles Baudelaire e outro de Walter Benjamin, procura-se, aqui, analisar a mesma enquanto forma artística emergente em meados do século XIX e quais os efeitos que ela provocou no campo da arte e da estética, então dominada pelo purismo da arte. Controversa, inquietante e perturbadora, sintoma de um mundo que declinava, o da experiencia aurática da arte, a fotografia arrasta consigo a admiração apaixonada das massas, por um lado, e a condenação de estetas como Baudelaire. Porquê? O que significa o seu aparecimento? Afinal a fotografia é arte ou não? São precisamente estas questões que procuro tematizar, à luz de um autor paradigmático como Walter Benjamin.
By the analysis of the two paradigmatic texts about photography, one of them by Charles Baudelaire and the other by Walter Benjamin, we will attempt to analise it as an artistic form that emerged in the middle of XIX century, as well the effects produced in the fields of art and aesthetic, clearly dominated at that time by the purity of art. Controversial, it is the subject of constant and though discussion, as well as worrying and disturbing, symptom of a declining world, the auratic experience of art, the photography has been an issue which brings the passioned admiration of mass culture, on the one hand, and the aesthete condemnation like Baudelaire. Why? What does it means its appearance? After all is it or not photography an art? These are precisely the main questions which I attempt to focusing, under the light of such a paradigmatic author like Walter Benjamin.
