Fotoğrafın ontolojisi üzerine bir inceleme

This study is the culmination of a speculative attempt to understand and restate theenigma of photography. It aims to supplement the thought of photography with a host ofconcepts that seem to have escaped the scope of the theoretical critique of photographyand photographs. In doing so, it follows the lead of the `logic? of the grapheme and ofthe event of history to review the position of photography in relation to the language ofthe logic of being, and investigates whether the time of photography can be held inopposition to `real time.? Consequently, the contexts in which contemporary thought onphotography restrict the identity of photography are problematized, and the peculiaritiesinvolved in the interaction between photographs and viewers are emphasized in thisstudy.Keywords: Photography, Writing, the Real, Specter, Recognition, Iterability, History,Roland Barthes.iii
