Abstract

Marc Piault, Franco-Brazilian filmmaker-anthropologist, should be a reference not only for those who take the risks of the audiovisual anthropology fields, but also for who venture into the anthropological discipline. It is with fairness, therefore, that the translation of the book Anthropology & Cinema: Passage to the Image, Passage through the Image (2018) finally comes to light, in which the author retraces the transversal paths between anthropology and cinema, a dialectical trajectory that tooks place at the points of contact between the identities and the tensions of that knowledge. Thus, he shows how Western thought was established from the complex relationship with otherness, drawing a critical retrospective and projecting future instigators and possible paths that still need to be followed.
