English summary: The use of images has expanded exponentially over the course of the last two centuries. Lambert Wiesing asks in this book what makes an image an image and seeks to establish a conceptual genealogy of the iconic turn. Convinced that images are necessarily signs, Wiesing advances formal aesthetics as an essential part of the theory of images. French description: En quoi une image est-elle image? Aux XIXe et XXe siecles, l’image a connu une expansion majeure, objet de modalites inedites de production et d’usage, que l’on songe a l’invention du collage, du videoclip, de l’image numerique ou de la simulation par ordinateur. Lambert Wiesing propose de retracer la genealogie conceptuelle de ce que l’on designe volontiers comme l’iconic turn de notre epoque. Tracant un parcours historique original, il place l’esthetique formelle des XIXe et XXe siecles au centre de son analyse. Il elabore une cartographie inedite qui relie Robert Zimmermann a Alois Riegl, Heinrich Wolfflin et Konrad Fiedler, puis confronte ensuite cette tradition a Maurice Merleau-Ponty et Charles Morris. Convaincu que l’image n’est pas d’emblee un signe, Wiesing reinvestit la categorie esthetique de la pure visibilite susceptible de rendre compte de la production du visible a meme l’image. L’esthetique formelle s’affirme ici comme un lieu theorique essentiel de la theorie actuelle de l’image.
