Sumario:Article analyses specific moment of historical interconnection between literature and photography . the years of Great Depression in the United States. The activity of national agency FSA, which was supposed to document and present to the entire society issues concerning the most economically and culturally handicapped classes, was often used as a raw material for much more advanced and complex artistic projects. Thus lots of intriguing collaborations between photographers and writers were born and their achievements are today an important and autonomous testimony not only of a moment in social history but also an episode in the history of media and their mutual relations. The author of the article tries to explain theoretical, political and ethical contexts of these collaborations.
