| Summary: | The photographic medium, advocated by Kevin Lynch back in 1960, is still very rarely used to support investigations in urban research. Experienced in the context of a microterritorial analysis of seaside resorts, it is the central tool of the approach presented in this article. Focusing on the “free” categorization of 134 pictures, these photographic surveys were conducted with tourists in Landes. Respondents ranked pictures submitted to them by their own standards of analysis. Using this device has enabled us to decode the underlying systems of representations at work and highlight microterritorial markers in seaside resorts. The present article discusses the foundations and results of this approach, highlighting the questions it raises. |
