Espreitando a morte
Em 1994, o fotógrafo Sudanês Kevin Carter ganhou o prêmio Pulitzer de foto
jornalismo com uma fotografia tomada na região de Ayod (uma pequena aldeia
em Suam), que percorreu o mundo inteiro. A figura esquelética de uma pequena
menina, totalmente desnutrida, recostando-se sobre a terra, esgotada pela
fome, e a ponto de morrer, enquanto num segundo plano, a figura negra
expectante de um abutre se encontra espreitando e esperando o momento
preciso da morte da garota. Quatro meses depois, pressionado por sentimento
de culpa e conduzido por uma forte dependência às drogas, Kevin Carter
suicidou-se.
Estava a rastejar para um campo de refugiados a 1km de distancia, o fotografo mal tirou a foto foi embora, ninguém sabe o que sucedeu à criança
Esta foto faz pensar em muita coisa...
On May 23, 14 months after capturing that memorable scene, Carter walked up to the dais in the classical rotunda of Columbia University's Low Memorial Library and received the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography. The South African soaked up the attention. "I swear I got the most applause of anybody," Carter wrote back to his parents in Johannesburg. "I can't wait to show you the trophy. It is the most precious thing, and the highest acknowledgment of my work I could receive."
Carter was feted at some of the most fashionable spots in New York City. Restaurant patrons, overhearing his claim to fame, would come up and ask for his autograph. Photo editors at the major magazines wanted to meet the new hotshot, dressed in his black jeans and T shirts, with the tribal bracelets and diamond-stud earring, with the war-weary eyes and tales from the front lines of Nelson Mandela's new South Africa. Carter signed with Sygma, a prestigious picture agency representing 200 of the world's best photojournalists. "It can be a very glamorous business," says Sygma's U.S. director, Eliane Laffont. "It's very hard to make it, but Kevin is one of the few who really broke through. The pretty girls were falling for him, and everybody wanted to hear what he had to say."
There would be little time for that. Two months after receiving his Pulitzer, Carter would be dead of carbon-monoxide poisoning in Johannesburg, a suicide at 33. His red pickup truck was parked near a small river where he used to play as a child; a green garden hose attached to the vehicle's exhaust funneled the fumes inside. "I'm really, really sorry," he explained in a note left on the passenger seat beneath a knapsack. "The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist."
«Na melhor hipótese a representação parlamentar oferece o aspecto duma duplicação de forças, que ou se revelam hostis ou pelo menos inarmónicas, mesmo quando o partido que se arroga a representação das massas operárias exerce com exclusividade o poder».
