Coleção Festejo Maior: possible links between design and visual anthropology in the production of photographic books (original) (raw)
The Photographic Book is an important support as an item that covers the photographic creation of a project in different ways (FERNÁNDEZ, 2011). The justification and problem of this work is to show that Photography, here, is not just a piece of data to be analyzed. It is part of the results obtained throughout the development of a project. To address this topic, the article deals with the making of photograpic books when developed based on the Ethnographic Method and the possible links between Design Methodology and Visual Anthropology. To this end, the objective here is to analyze the production of digital books from the Feast of Brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Blacks Collection (Coleção Festejo Maior), which portrays six different Guardas de Congado – Brotherhoods of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Blacks – from the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte – MG - Brazil. The books were developed from research and extension projects in 2015 at the School of Design – Escola de Design (ED) / Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais (UEMG) – and were presented at P&D Design – Brazilian Congress of Research and Development in Design. The methodology used was qualitative (GIL, 2017), focusing on Ethnography and Visual Anthropology (COLLIER JR., 1973; SAMAIN, 2012) and the development of Design products (BONSIEPE, 2012). In this way, it can be observed that photography books or photobooks are a support that allows the development of a photographic project based on consistent methodologies, which allows us to conclude that the use of photography goes beyond field research data, becoming a protagonist in projects research and extension.
