Abstract

The objective is to analyze the role of photographic investigation during the Covid-19
pandemic in Brazil in a social network of images. Three essays were chosen, published on
the profile @covidphotobrazil, and analyzed from iconology and iconography dimensions. It
was concluded that the role of photography as a provocateur of knowledge and debates was
renewed by the digital. Social networks of images invite not only to see them, but to question
and comment on them. Images are important tools for raising awareness about the different
social and political contexts in Brazil, aggravated by the health crisis. The role of social science
that investigates the data and information that contextualizes images in contemporary history
is extremely important.
