| Abstract | |
The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the role played by câmera images in the Gregory Bateson's work Naven. The work - recently translated into Portuguese - deals with the study of a ceremony homonymous to the title practiced by the Iatmul, tribe in New Guinea, in mid 1930, intended to welcome the son of a sister for an accomplishment considered adult. In Naven, after three hundred pages with a triple review of the ritual (ethological, sociological and structural), Bateson presents 28 photographic plates totaling 49 photographs. We intend, through a heuristic perspective, to bring forward this book little studied in academic circles in Brazil, performing a reflection on the photographic work contained in Bateson's Naven. Availing myself of an anthropological view, but without leaving aside the artistic, we analyze the photographic plates taken by the author. The aim is to bring a contribution to the history of Visual Anthropology, in order to be able to do in the future methodological advances, and diverse in this field of research. (AU) | |
