This special section of Aniki explores crossed histories of cinema and anthropology based on six texts that seek to account for how the two fields have been ‘fertilized’ with contributions from both sides. The history of cinema and (visual) anthropology is a history made of mutualisms, not always obvious or easily identifiable. With this thematic dossier, which puts together six studies and six particular stories, we intend to contribute to the history of the visual representation of people in ethnographic cinema and in visual anthropology, exploring issues of knowledge, narrative and construction that place the theme of anthropologically appropriated moving images in relation to ethical and political dimensions that are inescapable for authors, spectators, represented people, and image scholars.
