Axiología de la imagen: revisión de los enfoques sobre la producción fotográfica en los entornos digitales

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to conduct a literature review to determine the value of the photographic image in digital environments. In this regard, it highlights the importance of conducting a comprehensive survey of the existing academic literature to provide a foundation for the development of a doctoral dissertation in the field of photography. Therefore, the need to identify emerging trends, research gaps, debates, and areas of opportunity is emphasized to contribute to theoretical and practical advancement in this field of visual communication. To conduct this research, the documentary research methodology proposed by Arias (2012) was employed. A search of the academic literature was conducted, including scientific output from the past 9 years, with the support of specialized search engines known for their high accuracy and reliability. In addition, for the analysis of the results and the discussion, interpretation and reflection were employed, respectively, as tools associated with qualitative research. It is assumed that the axiology of the image and the intersection between communication, technology, and society feed into the values that guide the ethical and social frameworks of photographic production in the digital age. In conclusion, axiology, in the context of photography, invites reflection on what aspects are valued in an image, what emotions, ideas, or principles are conveyed, and how these values influence
