Abstract

The nature of the photographic image is discussed here, by considering the ways in which it represents aspects of reality within the phenomenological fundaments of the notion of sign. The purpose is to help build theoretical and methodological tools for analyses and improvement of perception on the cognitive influence of the photographic image. The pictures analyzed in this study have been supplied by Projeto Cognitus – Petrobrás.
