Abstract

Considering the contributions of photographic history and philosophy of science, this articleseeks to raise the relations between science and common sense in the Brazilian construction of atheory of photography, claiming that the convergence between the two modes of knowledge(science and common sense) happens through the imagination. The symbolic images of someheuristic assumptions of Brazilian intellectual production about photography in the period 1999-2009 are analyzed. Underlying to the theoretical construction of the area, the mythology of themirror is found.
