RESUMO DO ARTIGO IMAGEM E RETÓRICA NA PROVA EM VÍDEO

The scholarly article "Image and Rhetoric in Video Evidence" by Vicente Riccio, Clarissa D. Guedes, Amitza T. Vieira, and Alexandre Souza, published in 2018, explores the increasing use of video evidence in courtrooms, highlighting the interplay between Law and Rhetoric in the context of modern technology. The authors argue that images possess significant rhetorical elements and their interpretation is not purely objective but requires qualified analysis. The study is structured into three parts: the relationship between Law, Rhetoric, and image; the procedural analysis of the image as evidence; and the need for visual literacy among legal practitioners. They emphasize the importance of adapting legal practices to effectively incorporate new technologies, as demonstrated by changes in the 2015 Civil Procedure Code. Ultimately, they present the image as an emerging transdisciplinary research field in Law, necessitating the development of new understanding and interpretation methods.
