Comment classer la photographie ? On peut penser, avec Barthes, que la photographie est inclassable, qu'elle �chappe aux genres. Rh�torique (paysages, portraits, nus, architecture...), esth�tique (r�alisme, pictorialisme, documentaire...), technique (tirages argentiques, polaro�ds, st�nop�s...), aucune classification n'est parfaitement satisfaisante, car la photographie, image au statut s�miotique instable, se moque des pratiques, des discours et des rangements. La photographie serait-elle un art de la confusion ? Pourtant, l'impossible classification de la photographie s'accompagne d'un constant travail de classement, des albums de famille aux collections des mus�es. Force est de constater que le genre reste un outil paradoxal, contest� mais sans cesse employ�. Comment expliquer la r�sistance du genre en photographie � une �poque qui favorise m�langes et d�cloisonnements ? Dans cet ouvrage, issu du colloque qui s'est tenu � la Biblioth�que nationale de France les 23 et 24 mars 1999, philosophes, historiens, artistes, conservateurs, critiques offrent une analyse polyphonique de la confusion des genres en photographie. Philosophie des arts visuels, pragmatique des discours en images, art po�tique du m�tissage contemporain... ? Leurs propos s'inscrivent au croisement de multiples probl�matiques pour lesquelles le genre est tour � tour �tiquette de classement, cat�gorie de jugement, crit�re d'�valuation, norme �pist�mologique ou juridique... L'actuelle confusion des genres en photographie est-elle un avatar de l'histoire conflictuelle des arts plastiques et de la po�tique, ou bien l'effet de l'ambigu�t� perceptive de la photographie, entre image et vision ? La r�flexion critique ou historique se fait ici au contact des oeuvres : propos th�oriques mais aussi parcours au coeur des collections et de la cr�ation contemporaine.
