Résumé
Our intention is to explore the contemporary visual forms we can capture in the digital reproducibility of the image. That is, to try to understand how shared contemporary digital photography is an expression of everyday life and to focus on the intention of a constructive cognitive process based on images as a way of revealing the world and a sensitive trace of experience. Through the exploration of diffuse images, we raise the question of enhancing the image as a cognitive mode and potential for sociological knowledge as evidence of the real, lived and shared present. Thinking and doing sociology through a visual approach means designing the cognitive link with iconic material: the latter is constructed, in our what, from a sociology of images in which visual fragments produced by individuals in the sphere of the everyday are selected and analyzed as culturological visual aspects.
