The text does not try to establish a mere method of interpreting the image, but on the contrary, to use the image as an important part of a broad analysis capable of containing within itself memories and social expressions that allow the social scientist to expose the contradictions in modern life, a life that conceals the functioning of reality so that in daily practice the institutionalized forms of society remain unaltered. For these reasons, the paper goes further and state that the judgments, ideologies and preferences of those who operate the apparatus, those who create the images, those who interpret them, as well as those who classify them, etc., are never neutral, but immersed in a complex, contradictory world, built on everyday dynamics that reproduce a specific material practice, often in accordance with the dominant discourse. En este artículo, se rescata el discurso crítico como elemento fundamental para sustentar lo que se ha denominado Historia crítica de la mirada. Aquí no se intenta establecer un simple método de interpretación de la imagen, sino que, por el contrario, se pretende rescatar el uso de la imagen como parte fundamental de un amplio análisis capaz de contener dentro de sí memorias y expresiones sociales que permitan exponer las contradicciones imperantes en la vida moderna, una vida que obliga o vuelve indispensable el ocultamiento del funcionamiento de la realidad para que en la práctica cotidiana permanezcan vigentes las formas institucionalizadas de la sociedad. Por ello planteamos que los juicios, las ideologías y preferencias de los que operan el aparato, los que crean la imagen, los que la interpretan, así como de los que encargan las imágenes, etc., no son neutrales, sino que están inmersas en un mundo complejo, contradictorio y construido sobre dinámicas cotidianas que reproducen y favorecen una práctica material determinada, muchas veces acorde con el discurso dominante.
