Photography and childhood: the universe of symbolic "favors" children and representations

Abstract

The photographic resource emerged in the nineteenth century promoted one of the most significant symbolic reconstructions of the world. This is due to the fact that for the first time the man could achieve "perfection" of their representation. This will influence the way we visualize the man himself and the surrounding society. The photograph, now something trivial to contemporary society extremely linked frequent technological innovations, has many unexplored properties. The objective of this work is to analyze the narrative discourse in photographs and their representations of childhood. The usual souvenir photo to relatives, especially for the godparents of children remains common practice, albeit in different ways. Today, the "souvenirs" cameras are being replaced by other technological resources, among them, perhaps the most popular e-mail. If this factor promoted on the one hand, the increased circulation of the world images also commonplace by another workman merely as illustrative of the written text. The imagery language carries a number of meanings, translating times and directions, offering other possibilities of interpretation beyond the written text.
