Synopsis

The year 2022 continues to present us with the fruits of the Scientific Territory project. We have now arrived at the third volume, Personal Trajectories in (Audio)Visual Anthropology in Brazil, in fact, the first book in a series of three, featuring some of the biggest names in Brazilian (Audio)Visual Anthropology.
It is possible to learn a lot from great masters. With the masters gathered in this book, we learn that a trajectory is not a lonely path, that Anthropology is not just made of text, it is visual, it is the art of listening, it is a way of getting closer to the world, of becoming protagonists of the our own history, that there is no Anthropology that does not dialogue with other areas. We also learn that if we act as if we were always enchanted, we will be able to perceive that the representation is full of affection, that generosity, solidarity and dreams exist. And we can get to know each other together, and we can learn that images refuse to say what they think, because they think differently.
