The purpose of this research is to approach various subject matter about photography and representation that arise in the novel The Map and the
Territory by the french writer Michel Houellebecq. The analysis will circulate through four axes: the first will examine the relationship between
the different types of visual representations that appear in that text, then analyze the existing photographic views in the novel, we will continue to
understand the interest in the protagonist’s maps as a kind of punctum and we will end by deepening the relationship between the death of a loved
one with the map and the photograph.
