Ao encontro da sociologia visual
Abstract
image has specific sociological meanings. One must understand the social phenomena taking notice of visual language as well. On one hand, photography has social usages that can and should be studied in a methodical and systematical way. On the other hand, photography is also a valid technique of observation in social science.
