Abstract

This essay draws analogies between the development of apparatus dedicated to visualising the photographic act and visual culture according to the Foucauldian concept of dispositive. Based on an analysis of the history of photography, understanding the period from the 1950s to the present, the study investigates the transition from the logic of representation to the simulation mode described by sociologist Jean Baudrillard. The work demonstrates how the dispositive reifies ideology, discourses and concepts regarding knowledge in image-producing instruments and their respective modes of seeing.
