Abstract

Beginning from the reflection about the photographic image in the modern photojournalism, we seek to think about its role in contemporaneity. The work produced by photographer Lee Miller during the Second World War is the subject of this reflection. She produces some photojournalism that can be called “minor” – in the strongest meaning of the term, as proposed by Deleuze and Guattari (1997), a practice that is taken as fiction and constructer of the portrayed reality. Starting from the Barthesian inspiration and theoretical contributions by Foucault, we will try to point out the presence of this so-called “minor” photography the contemporary photojournalism
