Abstract

The paper discusses the expansion of the European through the world as from the Modernity and the development of sciences, technology and communication, to explore distances and diversities. It shows how social scientists have developed a significant method to see and describe the other – the ethnography – that is capable to approximate the researcher
to the research subject, mutually revealing them. It analyses how the image has become part of this knowledge method and the relevance it acquires nowadays in the contemporary forms of relation with the other.
