The discussions undertaken by decolonial thought have led researchers to a critical review of media practices in the scope of image production and circulation. The different ways to represent subjects without considering the markers of gender, race, class, ethnicity, in intersectionality, are questioned as visual syntheses that reduces complex processes engendered by the underlying forms of capitalism. In this text, we propose a critical reflection on the ways in which journalistic image circumscribes a specific role for vulnerable people, taking as an exemplary base the photograph that won the World Press Photo international award in 2019.
