The objective of this article is to discuss the circulation of literary texts in the photographic medium. This paper has two focuses: firstly, to verify possible implications for the identity of the multimodal contemporary reader; then, to identify multimodal resources that allow the reader to understand the visual mode as a means for representation and information. Thus, we approach the Series Books, by the French photographer Pierre Beteille. The project is formed by eighteen photographs inspired in literary texts. For this paper, four images will be analyzed: Pinoquio, by Carlo Collodi; Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe; The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka and A Náusea, by Jean-Paul Sartre. For the theoretical references, we will rely on Kress (2010), Kress and VanLeeuwen (2001, 2006), on multimodalities, and Kossoy (1999), Sontag (2003; 2004) and Flusser (1985), on photography.
