Abstract

This paper is intended as an experiment to observe if it is possible to apply procedures and structures that regulate the nouvelle, to visual genres. I’m interested in examining if it is possible to narrate with an image, and to do so according the principles established by Ricardo Piglia in his “Secreto y narración. Tesis sobre la nouvelle”. On the other hand, from the perspective of the image, I will base my arguments on theories presented by Wendy Steiner, Normar Bryson, and Nelson Goodman.
