COLORADO NATES, Óscar. Vernacular Photography: Towards a Synthetic Elementary Definition. Palabra Clave [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.2, e2623. Epub 13-Abr-2023. ISSN 0122-8285. https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2023.26.2.3.
Through a literature/newspaper inquiry, this research seeks to answer the question: How to offer a synthetic elementary definition of Vernacular Photography that includes commonalities in concepts by specialized authors, galleries, and museums interested in this iconographic genre? Twenty-five definitions of Vernacular Photography were analyzed to answer this question, choosing 13 from the last ten years that were issued by prestigious academics interested in this genre, such as Geoffrey Batchen and Clément Chéroux, or institutions with Vernacular Photography collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York or the Swann Galleries. Studying these definitions has allowed us to find convergent and divergent elements to propose an integrating defining concept. The conclusions section highlights the challenges of finding a synthetic elementary definition of Vernacular Photography.
