Abstract

This article examines the main characteristics of journal photography from the theories of discourse that makes possible its analysis as well as the definition of its place and value in the contemporary press. It discusses that photography in the communicative context acquires a representative and communication capacity from the confluence that emerges from its character of multinodal text, in which the following problems are interwoven: objectivity and appealing to realism, individuality against the occidental aesthetic tradition, the need of printing information, its social use and its symbolic power associated to the possibility of expressing a potential ideological discourse.
