The present study discusses, from the perspective of the photographic dispositif, the changes in the photographic act since the development and popularization of digital photography. The research rescues the historical development of photography during the 20th century as a way to understand the changes in the photographic praxis until nowadays. The conventions and prefigurations of the photographic act were discussed, as also were the relations between those conventions and the actual practice of digital photography. The method utilized in this study was based in the concept of geneology as used by Michel Foucault (2002), in which it is affirmed the need to historically research the fields of force that compose the dispositif. The concept of dispositif is utilized to discuss the characteristics of the photographic equipment, based not only on the works of Foucault, but also on Agamben s (2008). As a technological basis for many processes of image production, photography has a fundamental role in midst the means of social communication. The changes from the analogical to the digital process in photography bring implications that affect not only amateur day-to-day uses, but also the role of photography in the means of mass communication. A example of this is the loss of trust in the longly self alleged objectivity claim of the photographic image, specially present in the context of photojournalism, that has changed the way society perceives the photographic image: more and more, photography is treated as a discourse, and less as a testemony. The hypothesis of this study is that the digital technology in connection to the photographic dispositif alters the role of the photographic image in society and that this change is inserted in a wider social-cultral context of modifications in the ways messages are produced and distributed in the digital age
