Resumen

La presente investigación busca responder, a través de una indagación biblio y hemerográfica, la pregunta por cómo ofrecer una definición sintética y elemental de fotografía vernácula, que incluya los elementos comunes presentados en conceptos emanados de autores especializados, galerías y museos interesados por este género iconográfico. Para responder esta pregunta se analizaron 25 definiciones de fotografía vernácula y se escogieron finalmente 13, correspondientes a los últimos diez años, dadas por académicos de reconocido prestigio interesados en este género, como Geoffrey Batchen y Clément Chéroux, o instituciones con acervos de fotografía vernácula, como el Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York o las Swann Galleries. El estudio de las definiciones ha permitido encontrar elementos convergentes y divergentes para poder proponer un concepto definitorio e integrador. En las conclusiones se ponen de relieve los retos que implica encontrar una definición sintética y elemental para la fotografía vernácula.
