- Abstract
Images - still, moving or virtual - have become a means of communication and representation that can be applied, at the same time, in science and arts. The development of techniques of image production seem to make obsolete some traditional forms mobilized by ethnography, like drawing. The graphic image remains, however, a fundamental tool for ethnologists-anthropologists. This paper discusses the role and potential of ethnographic drawings as a tool for the collection and analysis of field research data. May ethnographic drawings evoke discourses, exceed the words, or collaborate with other types of representations which seek to give visibility to the objects of research? And what about the drawing made by the informant him/herself? The author discusses these question in view of an ethnographic study of fishing techniques of a fishing community from Nazaré, Portugal. It is suggested that the images should not be excluded from the object-memories within the history of the human sciences.
