ResumoNeste artigo, busca-se sugerir, a partir nos casos de libelo de sangue ocorridos em Trento (1475) e Kiev (1911), pistas de possiveis sobrevivencias de uma memoria cultural ligada as lendas de crime ritual e libelo de sangue em representacoes visuais de dois meninos cristaos mortos. Ao se analisar e comparar essas imagens feitas em localidades e temporalidades dispares, notam-se mecanismos de sobrevivencia em detalhes presentes na gravura do Simao de Trento e na fotografia do Andrei Yuschinsky. As nuances imageticas pautadas numa oposicao entre o dionisiaco e o apolineo possibilitaram, como sera discutido, a cristalizacao de uma imagem na memoria coletiva que garantiria um lugar comum imagetico para a representacao de criancas supostamente sacrificadas pelos judeus a partir do seculo XV ate meados do XX. The images of blood libel and ritual crime: anachronism and survival between the cases of Trent (1475) and Kiev (1911) - Abstract: Based on two blood libel cases which occurred in Trent (1475) and Kiev (1911), the aim of this article is to indicate some clues for the possible survival of a cultural memory attached to the legends of ritual murder and blood libel in visual representations of two dead Christian boys. By analyzing and comparing these images of different locality and temporality, we can notice mechanisms of survival in details, which are present on both the Simon of Trent’s woodcut and Andrei Yuschinsky’s photography. These nuances of the images, which are based in an opposition between Dionysian and Apollonian, would make it possible, as it will be discussed, the crystallization of an image in the collective memory that would guarantee a common place to the visual representation of kids who were supposedly sacrificed by the Jews from the 15 th century until the 20 th .
