Imagem e Representação
| Resumo: | The boundaries between figuration and abstraction, artistic and non-artistic, or between depiction and other forms of reference repeatedly arise in discussions about images and représentation, usually ending up in ambiguous distinctions between the innate and natural versus the constructed and cultural. Nelson Goodman’s account to what we call a conventionalist theory of pictures can answer some questions concerning the puzzling nature of représentation. The relativity of such boundaries become clear if we accept a multidirectional perspective of reference, determined by the several symbolic function contexts in witch pictures and other signs are brought in. In spite of this, the significance and range we take from the concepts of picture and depiction is crucial to the dilution of those distinctions. Following Goodman, this paper seeks to explore the corrélation between these two connected but even so distinctive concepts. |
