| Résumé: | Participatory video, which has a long tradition within development projects, is only recently being discovered by academic visual anthropology as a tool for scientific enquiry and representation. This article discuses its potentialities in addressing questions such as « identity », « agency », « alterity » or « subject-object relationships », based on fieldwork undertaken in Brazil and Portugal. Participatory video is proposed as a practice for both the anthropologist and the « native » in order to gain deeper insights into social relations and their construction, through a reflective process of image-construction. |
