Making pictures talk

Faire parler les photographies

*  *  *

Published on Tuesday, September 27, 2022

Abstract

« Making pictures talk » or talking from and about them has become a common practice in social sciences that deserves critical examination. In the framework of this conference, people coming from several disciplines and whose practice is inscribed in the combination of photographs and narratives will revisit their case studies and explicit their ways of doing research. The intention is to compare different practices, confront them, and bring them into dialogue in order to discuss the ways in which each practitioner uses images and testimonies through the prism of his or her disciplinary and analytical perspectives.
