Filmer le travail : apports d’une pratique de cinéma documentaire en géographie

Abstract

The production of documentary film by researcher has been developed in social sciences, mainly in anthropology and sociology, slightly less in geography. As a geographer, I have produced three documentary movies that highlight relationships between workers and natural environment, especially in the context of environmental changes. Filming the work is well adapted to enrich knowledge in environmental geography, but contributes also to cultural geography, in the field of body geography and emotional geography. Beyond these themes, the production of research films encourages to clarify researcher’s positioning, particularly its own place on the study field and the production of a « new space ».
