Abstract

This article examines the representation of late Estado Novo (New State) Lisbon in Eduardo Gageiro’s Lisboa no Cais da Memória (2003). I explore how the work’s anchorage and clear affiliation to humanistic street photography set up a particular reading of the work. In this light, I will then consider how the text’s format as a photobook works to concatenate and undergird this reading to create a urban-like space in which the reader can follow in the footsteps of the flâneur/street photographer through an articulated simulation of the space-time in question.
