Resumo: Gabriela Liffschitz (falecida em 1983) é um exemplo particularmente único de fotografia urbana contemporânea argentina, por ter devotado a sua obra a documentar sua luta contra o câncer terminal. Não apenas ela foi brutalmente franca na exposição das consequências do câncer – uma doença que ataca particularmente as mulheres e é muitas vezes consequência dos transtornos da moderna vida urbana- como também produziu, nesse processo, uma fotografia que desafiava o olhar sexista masculino sobre o corpo feminino erotizado.
Palavras-chave: Gabriela Liffschitz;mastectomia; olhar masculino; corpo feminino.
Abstract: Gabriela Liffschitz (died 1983) was a particularly unique example of contemporary Argentine urban photography, as she devoted her work to chronicling her struggle against terminal cancer. Not only was she brutally frank in showing the consequences of cancer - a disease that particularly affects women and is often the consequence of the ravages of modem urban life- but in the process she produced a photography that defied the sexist male gaze of the eroticized female body.
Keywords: Liffschitz; Gabriela; mastectomy; male gaze; women’s body.
