Abstract

The recent technological transformations of cinema have brought back the debate on the properties of the photographic image, calling attention once again to André Bazin's film theory, especially his key work "The Ontology of the Photographic Image." In this text, Bazin establishes a correlation between the materiality of the cinema and its aesthetic tendency towards realism. This article offers a terminological clarification on one of the most fundamental concepts of his theory - the trace-, which is frequently identified with C.S. Peirce's indexicality, prompting semiotic readings of a pre-semiotic film theory.
