Abstract

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la relación entre fotografía y verdad y evaluar de qué modo el mensaje icónico se modifica con la llegada de la era digital, la capacidad plástica de las imágenes de mapa de bits y la proliferación de fotografías en Internet y las redes sociales. En este artículo se recogen algunos resultados de una investigación con un enfoque diacrónico y antropológico, basada en el trabajo con documentación bibliográfica y en el análisis de imágenes difundidas desde diversos medios. Como valor añadido, se aporta la observación y experiencia activa como usuarios y profesionales del diseño gráfico y el uso de programas de retoque fotográfico como Adobe® Photoshop®. Se plantean preguntas para evidenciar cuestiones sobre el uso que viene haciendo la sociedad del retoque fotográfico y cuáles podrían ser los factores que crean interpretaciones sobre trabajos de retoque de imágenes considerados como necesidades de la edición técnica a diferencia de otros que sean entendidos como manipulación malintencionada. La imagen fotográfica funciona como elemento de la comunicación con diversos significados dependiendo del mensaje al que pertenece y los valores a los que sirve.

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. The publisher perpetually authorizes participants in the LOCKSS system to archive and restore our publication through the LOCKSS System for the benefit of all LOCKSS System participants. Specifically participating libraries may: • Collect and preserve currently accessible materials; • Use material consistent with original license terms; • Provide copies to other LOCKSS appliances for purposes of audit and repair. Fair use of a copyrighted work, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
