Abstract

The present paper aims to explore the visibility regime practiced by nature prophets in brazilian northeastern “sertão”. We intend to show how this visibility regime resists to what has been a contemporary tendency both in the media and in the scientific worlds. The techniques of body visualization, reality shows, webcams and surveillance cameras follows the principle that everything must be shown and seen, building a sense of reality extremely related to the visibility. On the other extreme we will find the nature prophets. They read the signs of northeastern life and foresee what is not imediately visible, in a dialogue that reveals the invisible dimension of vision and the political dimension of language.
