The essays that make up this collection discuss the numerous affinities between anthropology and photography. The organizer selected articles that point to the possibilities of the alliance between the two areas, highlighting the reason for the mutual enchantment between anthropologists and photographers, united by the desire for a connection between art, knowledge and information. The images indicate the possibility of deepening the density of ethnography by using other narrative forms than just verbal scientific discourse. The hybrid character of photography, between art and science, and the new paths it opens up for the relations between visuality and textuality contribute to the development of alternative processes of expression of knowledge, as the writings of this work demonstrate.
