In Plato's Cave by Susan Sontag

Plato was trapped in the cave wall for the rest of his life in Socrates and asked me to explain the group of people who were faced with a blank wall.

People see the shadow cast on the wall from the front of the fire behind them, they begin to name these shadows

Then he explained that the philosopher was like a prisoner freed from the cave and understood that the shadow of the wall can not constitute reality. A prisoner

There is no conscience in the photograph, but you can not provide complete political or moral knowledge in the picture - it will be inexpensive knowledge - superficial knowledge, a smart appearance

The picture is a surface - now it feels, intuition goes beyond that, and if so, how does the reality look? Let's read, let's understand the story behind the photograph and study to become free

The pictures are taken based on experience (if it does not happen with FB / "exciting clip", we rely on the camera to make our experience a reality)

The picture suggests that we understand the world if it accepts it as it is recorded by the camera.

The real rendering of the camera must always be hidden than it reveals. Only the story can make us understand

AP photographer Nick Ut shot with an image symbolizing that Kim Hook is away from the wrong attack. I got a picture of the Pulitzer Prize

Pictures will encourage the present situation (continue to urge the behavior of photos to continue to happen -

Shooting characters is infringing / raping / killing them - cameras are sold as predatory weapons (aim, focus and shoot - the pictures change people's possessions)

Pictures are easy to tolerate atrocities, more commonly lead to indifference - repeated shocks to shock

People take pictures on vacation as it imitates our addictive work - take out camera / phone if in doubt

Susan Sontag's article "In Plato's Cave" accuses the photograph and warns the meaning of the photograph. In explaining the meaning of the photographs, Sontag mentioned several important findings, and due to the changes in what actually happened when photographs were taken and the lack of information and the strong influence on society of the photographs, photographs Clarified the attention when seeing. The psychological aspect of Sontag's pictures shows a threat and shows motivation behind hidden desires and behaviors. Sontag's article generally shows how the picture has a serious impact on society's views and shows the results of the photographs that depend on this despair. Still, in some cases, this dependency on photos is useful, so Sontag may "spread it beyond ratio" across the boundary. Of course, I can not fully trust photographs, but it depends on viewer's judgment and support information.

Literary interpretation and analysis of the first chapter of Susan Sontag's "photo": "Platoon Cave"

In her article entitled 'Plato's Cave', Susan Sontag said the photographs confine us within the cave, I think we are seeing the reality. She said that we seem to have a clear understanding of the world, but said that photos can only be shown to the world from a certain angle. Photographers can control how to make us feel how the paintings can make us think so that those who move the statue in the cave have complete control over what the prisoners see. I can do it. We must be careful to notice the fact that we are showing a shadow and are constantly looking for a better view of reality.

A typical example of a warning about Sontag's photos is "Man is not often destroyed by Plato's caves and is still fascinated by their ancient practices, it is only an image of the truth" (Sangag 3) . Here, Sontag does not always explain what they see, as someone like a fable in Plato's cave, when seen by someone is just a real image. In the cave story of Plato, the shadow of the wall seen from the trapped prisoner is very different from the real thing before the fire (Cohen). This fable shows that a prisoner in a cave can only see the reality of its image, not its real object. Sontag compares these shadow allegories with photographs and reality and says that the picture looks like a shadow. They are not genuine. In addition, you can modify the photo: scaling, cropping, grooming, aging, trading (Sontag 4)
