Abstract

This paper argues about the importance of using photography in the ethnographic perspective, endorsing the thoughts of Achutti (1997, 2004) about the uses of photography as a fundamental narrative instrument. We focus in the the agricultural production of Ilha dos Marinheiros (city of Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). Based on Bateson and Mead (1942), we will present a structural narrative (SAMAIN, 2004) about the social peculiarities that guide the production process in that locality.
