This book, accompanying the conference of the same name, raises a number of issues, such as the epistemological hybridity that characterizes the discourse on photography, the obsolescence of a discourse founded on photographic ontology, the history of the gaze “forced” by photography, the emergence of a number of practices such as autobiography, staging, narrativity, manipulation, borrowing images, etc., the iconoclastic process adopted by some photographers, and the singular and melancholic bankruptcy of the photographic image.
