Title synopsis

In order to clarify the history and methodology of this publication,we should first say that it is intended as broad and inclusiveoverview of the photography now being produced in Portugal within thecontext of the visual arts, while avoiding a disciplinary analysis ofphotography. We could say that this book is more focused on the fieldof the photographic than in the field of photography itself ? this is, on the field of photography as an expression that is subsidiary to atradition (however fictional it may be) included in a history ofphotography. Therefore, this book does not claim to pertain to thediscipline of the history of photography, even if it can be used as asource and contribute to some systematization of the field. A keyissue in this publication, the claim that the reflection onphotography has had very interesting developments within the culturalfield of the visual arts, much more than within the specificdisciplinary field of photography ? something that should be seen as a consequence of the widespread dilution of disciplinary boundaries inthe last five decades.
