- Abstract
The article talks about photography, its history and its causal dimensions. Topics discussed include the disciplinary iterations of determinism and their aspects in photography, the photograph "Tarantella" by Giorgio Sommer in 1870 in which people are performing the Tarantella dance, and the joining of natural and human history. Also mentioned is the photograph "Pregnant Woman" by Michele Amodio which shows a pregnant woman killed by the eruption of volcano Mount Vesuvius in Italy, the semiotic interpretation of photography, and the philosophy of constructivism in photography.
