Resumen:Las dificultades conceptuales que entraña la idea de posmodernidad en las prácticas fotográficas posteriores a 1970, no implican la inexistencia de un conjunto de actitudes icónicas que, vinculadas a la neovanguardia y a la consolidación de los estudios culturales y de género, mantienen un evidente diálogo con la tradición moderna. Más que plantear un repertorio de recetas visuales, la fotografía contemporánea, en tanto que momento inserto en la modernidad, articula una serie de discursos que, despojados de cualquier voluntad canónica, cuestionan el estatuto tradicional de la imagen y el sentido que lo posmoderno posee. El presente artículo busca contextualizar dichas posiciones en relación a dos parámetros. En primer lugar, y desde una perspectiva teórica, toma algunas de las reflexiones de Cartier-Bresson como paradigma de un pensar la fotografía que se contrapone a la voluntad político-ficcional y narrativa que se inicia con la crítica a la imposición lingüística tardo-moderna y a sus dictados formalistas. Por otro lado, el texto plantea la contextualización fotográfica en relación al desarrollo del arte contemporáneo y a su deriva antropológica, estableciendo una serie de características que toman como referencia visual el auge que en estas últimas décadas ha adquirido lo corporal como construcción cultural.
Abstract:
The conceptual difficulties with the idea of postmodernity in photographic practices after 1970 do not imply the non existence of a set of iconic attitudes which, linked to the neo-avantgarde and consolidation of cultural and gender studies, maintain an evident dialogue with modern tradition. Rather than propose a repertoire of visual recipes, contemporary photography, as a moment of modernity, articulates a series of discourses which, stripped of any canonical intention, question the traditional rules of image and meaning contained in the postmodern. This present article seeks to contextualise these positions in relation to two parameters. Firstly, and from a theoretical perspective, it takes Cartier-Bresson’s reflections as a paradigm for a philosophy of photography which runs counter to the political, fictional and narrative intention that begins with criticism of late modern linguistic imposition and its formalist dictates. Secondly, the text proposes photographic contextualisation in relation to the development of contemporary art and its anthropological drift, establishing a series of characteristics that take as visual reference the rise in recent decades of the body as a cultural construction.
