This article outlines some relations between literature and photography through the analysis of the short story “Vestido de fustão”, by José J. Veiga. In the selection entitled Objetos turbulentos, in which the story is inserted, objects plays a prominent role in all narratives, almost functioning as characters of the plots. This valorization of objects is carried out, in most cases, through resources that approach the focalization of photography, once the image of the object is centrally projected, minutely, as poeticizing the instant of its captation, revealing the punctum to the reader/ spectator. The objects unveil unusual situations, problematizing practices of subjectivation/ objectivation, in which the subjects are tangled. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the unusual objects, for being conceived as punctum, follow a process of facialization, that engenders the fantastic ambience in the narratives in which they are inserted, and therefore they become turbulent or almost object. For the analysis, the theoretical support is specially studies by Roland Barthes and Gilles Deleuze.Downloads
