Abstract

This article reflects on the cultural role of images today, when our society's hypervisuality makes them part of the everyday experiences of teachers and students while the digitality and the possibilities offered by digital networks are leading to deepseated changes in research methods.
The second part of the article focuses on photographic images as research sources and examines several of the obvious obstacles posed in their analysis caused by both their different cultural comprehension in the nineteenth and twentieth century, as well as their condition as graphic texts that change meaning according to the viewer and when they are viewed.
