| Abstract (English): | In Against Race Paul Gilroy writes that the "race producing" activity unleashed in the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries "required a synthesis of logos with icon, of formal scientific rationality with something else, something visual and aesthetic" (1). During this period, scientific discourses that elaborate the concept of race adopt new technologies, especially photography. In this article, I am particularly interested in analyzing how the "black" body is arranged photographically. I probe some examples taken from the archives collected by the Swiss scientist Louis Agassiz and the photographer Christiano Júnior in mid-19th century Rio de Janeiro. Objective: to question how these visual artifacts contributed to the re-assemblage of racial discourses precisely at the moment when the black body was invested with legal subjectivity.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Paul Gilroy escribe en Against Race que la "producción de la raza" desencadenada en los siglos XVIII y XIX "necesitó una síntesis de logos e ícono, de la racionalidad científica formal acompañada de algo más, algo visual y estético" (1). A partir del siglo XIX y de la mano de los avances tecnológicos en el ámbito de la representación visual, especialmente en la fotografía, los discursos científicos de la alteridad acogen y desarrollan un componente de exhibicionismo y espectacularización. En este marco de ideas, se pretende entender la producción fotográfica del cuerpo "negro", en específico algunas imágenes que conforman los archivos fotográficos creados por el científico Louis Agassiz y Christiano Júnior en Brasil a mediados del siglo XIX. Objetivo: indagar la manera en que estos procedimientos de visualización contribuyeron a reensamblar discursos raciales en Brasil y en Estados Unidos justo en el momento cuando el cuerpo "negro" se enviste de subjetividad legal.
