Intericonicity developed by Jean-Jacques Courtine, known as the father of discursive memory within the context of French Discourse Analysis, in his 2003-2011 course Anthropologie et histoire des images, at the Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3, is discussed. The glide of the study of language materiality towards the materiality of the image is underscored, evidencing its common point, or rather, repetition. The characteristics of repetition within the image are later seen in their intericonicity movements which trigger a mental archive of images as repetitions forms of the original image. The above is exemplified by a 1940 picture called As Gêmeas by the Brazilian painter Alberto Guignard, to reveal a framework of genealogies of image repetitions and possible discourses. The locus of historicity is emphasized for the discursive functioning of image repetition and its discourses.
