Présentation

Civilisations est une revue d’anthropologie à comité de lecture. Diffusée sans discontinuité depuis 1951, elle publie, en français et en anglais, des articles relevant des différents champs de l’anthropologie, sans exclusive régionale ou temporelle. Relancée depuis 2002 avec un nouveau comité éditorial et un nouveau sous-titre (Revue internationale d’anthropologie et de sciences humaines), la revue encourage désormais particulièrement la publication d’articles où les approches de l’anthropologie s’articulent à celles d’autres sciences sociales, révélant ainsi les processus de construction des sociétés.

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.
