Abstract
As imagens que constroem o ideal de “nova” mulher do Estado Novo Português estabelecem um importante guia para compreender a forma heterodoxa e “contraditória” como foi usada a fotografia enquanto meio de inculcação de um modelo feminino consentâneo com a ideologia do regime. Estas revelam uma intrínseca dialética entre temas / formas “tradicionalistas” e “modernistas”. Tomando como objecto de análise as fotografias publicadas no Boletim da Mocidade Portuguesa Feminina (1939-1947), o objectivo deste artigo é compreender de que modo esta dialética é realizada ao serviço de propaganda do Estado Novo.
The images that outlined the “new” women ideal of the Portuguese
New State government (Estado Novo), set an important guide to understand how
the photography was used to establish a female role model consentaneous with
the regime ideology. At first glance these images appear odd and contradictory,
but a closer look one can identify an intrinsic dialectic between “tradition” and
“modernist” themes and forms. Taking as case study the Boletim de Mocidade
Portuguesa Feminina (Portuguese Women’s Youth Bulletin) (1939-1947), the aim
of this work is to analyze how this dialectic was operated at the service of the
New State propaganda
