RESUMO

The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the role played by câmera images in the Gregory Bateson s work Naven. The work – recently translated into Portuguese – deals with the study of a ceremony homonymous to the title practiced by the Iatmul, tribe in New Guinea, in mid 1930, intended to welcome the son of a sister for an accomplishment considered adult. In Naven, after three hundred pages with a triple review of the ritual (ethological, sociological and structural), Bateson presents 28 photographic plates totaling 49 photographs. We intend, through a heuristic perspective, to bring forward this book little studied in academic circles in Brazil, performing a reflection on the photographic work contained in Bateson s Naven. Availing myself of an anthropological view, but without leaving aside the artistic, we analyze the photographic plates taken by the author. The aim is to bring a contribution to the history of Visual Anthropology, in order to be able to do in the future methodological advances, and diverse in this field of research.
