Imagen fotográfica y Lenguaje

Main Article Content

José Pablo Concha

Abstract

Here we ponder on what is the properly photographic thing and on the language quality of the photographic image. Such language condition is considered from the symbolic possibilities of photography, releasing this problem from the urgency of finding an equivalency between the structure of visual language and the structure of verbal language. Finally, we analyze the concept of language from the binding presence proposed by W. Benjamin, and the interpretation opening that this idea arises in the photographic image.
