Integrating the language of photography, and more particularly the contribution of Roland Barthes as a potential space for blending disciplines, has long been an intellectual concern, both playful and creative. How does his thinking enter the world of social workers? It is from the notions of punctum, of significance that the text reminds us how much the photographic act joins and illuminates the encounter, the educational or formative relationship, the clinic of the educational or formative relationship.Somewhat in the line of Jacques Ladsous, photography allows, here, to metaphorize social work. Roland Barthes’ Camera Lucida serves as a motor for this metaphorization.
