Anthropology research and video: encounters and disencounters

Ever since its invention, the moving images have been used in different ways. As a tool of culture phenomenon research, also as instrument for illustration and broadcast of the researches. The videographic praxis needs methodical proposals that go much beyond of the simple use of animated images as a register. That’s why based on our experiences and imagetic analysis we try to reflect the particularities, potentialities and overall, some methodological considerations about the using of videographics on fieldwork. As result of this, we bring up some annoying fragments of these encounters and disencounters between the video and the anthropology research.
