- ABSTRACT The research deals with the photographic image in its exclusively documental aspect. However, in order to do that, it comments some photography’s technical and conceptual issues. This approach encompasses activities that are inserted in the practical aspect of Science Information, and it includes the DAM process of digital image organization. The main aspect considered in the research is the thematization of photographic image which is responsible, in the first place, for the determination of thematic discourses and for the delimitation and direction of these discourses due to characteristics of image banks where the photos will be stored and, secondly, for the gathering of totally different photos but that have some sort of discourse that they might have in common. As it deals with thematizing a kind of image (the photographic one) offers a general view in itself, showing its importance as a mean of interaction between men and the world and its meanings as communication of ideas, knowledge and doctrines, from pre history to these days. It also briefly shows the image thematization process indicating how men used to delimit and direct the imaging discourses according to their conveniences and political and/or religious interests. It shows some basic topics that guide the research such as a very brief photography history and concepts of: reference, photographic reality, polysemy, photographic denotation, Dubois ́ (2007), DE ́s, SOBRE ́s and Shatford ́s (1994) theories and so on. It presents the concept of photographic thematization and indicates the reason of thematizing photographies. It compares thematization to index showing that thematization is a technique prior to index in the organization process of photographic image. It shows that thematization is influenced by many factors such as photography’s technical and visual qualities (based on Gestalt’s form principles), possible functions that photography might have, cognition and analysts ́ and users ́ mental image and, mainly, image bank characteristics. It presents a practical exercise with 22 photographies that go through a whole thematization process, including descriptive analysis (based on the so called information points), interpretative analysis and the determination, delimitation and direction of thematic discourses. The last chapter weaves some final considerations demonstrating the results reached by the research.
