A construção cultural da fotografia como discurso na arte contemporânea

Abstract

This work presents a discussion of relations between photography and contemporary art, where the artistic production dialogue with the photography in the family field. the photograph is assumed as a mediating process culturally constructed, taking into account its technological aspects, as well as their social uses, both dimensions considered preponderant for the production of meaning to these images. to establish these relationships through an interdisciplinary perspective, the text seeks to integrate views of areas of knowledge that contributed towards a more complex comprehension of photography in his dialogue with society, with the technology, with the history and the visual arts. finally, we list some works of contemporary artists nan goldin, rosangela rennó and sascha pohflepp that demonstrate these relationships between the visual arts and snapshots of daily family life, either through the photographic image, the materiality of the photograph or the new circuits and new practices coming of digital technologies.
