Résumé 0

This bilingual special issue explores the relationship between the anthropological project of understanding humankind and the practice of photography. Adopting a landscape format in full colour to give visual content pride of place, it brings together eleven articles that focus on the photographic process, spanning multiple approaches that overlap considerably: the anthropologist as a photographer; the anthropologist and photographs; photographic anthropology; anthropology photographed; the relationship between anthropologists and photographers. This edition features case studies ranging from Europe and the Mediterranean to the Great North of Canada, the Andes, West Africa, and East Asia. With articles on topics including rural communities, pilgrims, migrants, youth, robots, buildings, administrations, portraits, garbage or clothes, the contributions address the technical and methodological, social, and political, scientific, and deontological issues raised by the use of photography in the context of anthropological research. It proposes contextual and tentative answers to the never-ending question of what a ‘good’ photograph is – or ‘good’ photography –, inspiring consideration of ethics, aesthetics, and emotions.
