Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate certain critical approaches to
photography and to try to make a re-reading of photographic images, with
pursuing some of the reading strategies that French philosopher Jacques
Derrida employs in deconstruction. The major aim is to point out the intrinsic
features of photographic images which have been foreclosed most of the
time, by the discourses established upon it and to trace a possible
framework for the experience of images.
