Abstract

Abstract

 This article discusses the nature of the digital and virtual image, and its place in contemporary historical discourse, both regarded as an essential part of this and as a potential primary source for the knowledge of recent past. It starts with three previous premises: the acceptance of the pictorial turn; the original nature of electronic image; and its capacity to be an agent, as well as a source, of history. Attempts with it to mirror such nature through the latest contributions of visual culture and to reflect on two problems: its referentiality and its veracity.
