Strategie di opacizzazione dell’immagine e prassi enunciative nel discorso fotografico. A partire da tre “ritratti” di Man Ray

Abstract

The paper proposes a critical overview of the concept of the enunciative praxis, in relation also to a semiotic theory of image. A critical review is followed by a second part in which a close examination is addressed to three photos by Man Ray. The photos are explored as “portraits” (or self-portraits) of the artist. The photo’s analysis highlights some significant aspects of the enunciative praxis concept, its critical points and some possible consonances with the semiotic theory of image.
