Description
Summary:This article reflects about performativity and photographic representation as two key dimensions that allow us to understand the place and the modes of intervention of the images in the production and regulation of meaning within a culture. From the observation of photographic acts, this paper presents five areas of development: 1) the photo readed as an image act, 2) photographic performance, its instances and dialogical recreation, 3) the work of representation in the photographic performative success, 4) forms of partial fixations of meaning in the photographic visibility and forms of identity formation in the difference, and finally 5) a reflection about production of meaning through photographic image, challenges and possible ways of approach.</p>
