| Titolo: | Other than as illustration : John Collier, Jr.'s visual anthropology / Claudio Pogliano. |
| Abstract: | This article investigates the genesis and significance of the book published in 1967 by John Collier, Jr. (1913-1992), who proposed a new visual approach to anthropology. After an initiation into painting in the 1930s, he had switched to photography and was soon involved in undertakings that brought him into contact with other cultures. So he began to understand and use the camera as an eminently research technique. In a period of rampant modernization, he identified his mission in defending them from assimilation to the Western life model, and in enhancing their peculiar energy. The first section shows how the book was laboriously written and which reactions it aroused. Since visual anthropology resembles a travel report about visited places, the second section briefly recounts the experiences that led to its drafting. The third section follows Collier's subsequent activity and outlines how the American anthropological community has since taken up his proposal. |
