Résumé
Le présent article offre un aperçu des rencontres et interactions entre les champs de la photographie et de la sémiotique depuis 1961 (date de publication de l’article fondateur de Roland Barthes “Le Message photographique”). Il analyse successivement trois aspects de cette problématique: a) la grande diversité des analyses sémiotiques du fait photographique; b) les apports mutuels des deux domaines, puisque la sémiotique a changé notre manière de voir la photographie et vice versa; c) les problèmes et les opportunités qui se profilent lorsqu’on cherche à articuler théoriquement les deux domaines.
Abstract
This article proposes first of all a survey of the encounters and interactions between photography and semiotics since 1961 (date of publication of the seminal article by Roland Barthes on "The Photographic Message"). It then examines successively the three following aspects: a) the wide range of semiotic analyses of photography that have been proposed since 1961; b) the mutual enrichments of both domains, for photography has shaped our vision of semiotics as much as semiotics has redefined our approach to photography; c) the problems and challenges that emerge when one tries to amalgamate both domains at a theoretical level.
