My look in the mirror: the self-portrait as an author’s affirmation. An ethnography of the Argentinean photographic field

Abstract

If we look at the photographic production in Argentina author of the last thirty years, we will see various manifestations of the genre of self-portrait, using a wealth of expressive resources and declarative strategies. The paper intends to review, from an ethnographic perspective, the relationship between authors and the development of an image of self, such as the modes of enunciation of their subjectivities.
