- This article develops an approach to the anthropology of images based on the work of Belting, Gell and Latour. Can we construct an anthropology of images which analyzes images not just as texts, but also as persons? That is to say, not just as a means of fixing collective representations or symbols understood as essentially different from social actors, but also as social actors in themselves? The ethnographic case on which the argument is based is Brazilian Candomblé, analyzed in the context of religious belief and practice in the city of Cachoeira, in the state of Bahia.
