Emergências fotográficas em redes sociais: prospecções

Abstract

The article chooses as research corpus the photographs published on social networks, in an analysis that consists in the verification of possible photography emergencies. The hypothesis considered is that the photography displaces its referential function centered on index of truth assuming a primarily symbolic function. In this reading, the picture takes on a role of great social relevance, the consolidation of self-in-network, or created identities for social networks, in representations of status and belonging to groups, media and contexts. The truth of the photograph is more social, not just factual.
