Since its inception photography has motivated numerous reflexions about 
the nature of images and about their artistic modes of production. 
Photography has engaged thinkers both as a medium and as a mechanism 
that raises fundamental questions. Besides critical 
concerns, investigations about photography also directly relate to the 
theory of knowledge, to the theory of the image, to aesthetics and the 
theory of art, to the philosophy of history, to ethics, and to many 
other philosophical areas.
The aesthetic analyses of the modes and means of the photographic image 
have always been influenced by the aesthetic understanding of 
contemporary images. Thus, theories have constructed the photographic 
image as a footprint, as a representation, or as a mechanism for 
preserving reality (which, in turn, helped to accelerate the liberation 
of painting from mimesis).
Laocoonte seeks new contributions to all of the aforementioned and other 
issues in the philosophy of photography.
Topics include but not limited to:
– Theories of the photographic mechanism
– The photographic act
– Photographic reception
– Photography and the theory of the image
– Memory and document
– Photography as a medium of conceptual or critical art
– Photography and suffering
– Amateur photography in the digital age
– Photographic genres
– Photography in the system of the arts
The Panorama section will include Spanish translations of papers 
by Diarmuid Costello and Robert Hopkins.
Submission deadline: April 30, 2018.
Papers may be written in Spanish, English, or Portuguese.
Please render your text completely anonymous, allowing for double-blind 
review.
The expected publication date of volume 5 of Laocoonte is December 15, 2018.
