Description
Summary:<p style="margin-top: 0.08in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="JUSTIFY">This paper seeks to understand the discourses revealed through the photos by ethnologist Curt Nimuendajú, in the first half of the nineteenth century, of the Brazilian Indians visited by him. This writing seeks the construction of discursive meaning through “anthropological” photos taken by this ethnologist, giving some of his photos of the Apinaye as an example. These photographs can allow us to understand how the “other” (in this case the Brazilians indigenous) was seen by Nimuendajú as a researcher of the cultures of several Brazilian peoples. The methodology used in this work is the analysis of the speeches of photographic images. Regarding the results, it can be said that Nimuendajú, in the photos taken by him, reveals the indigenous as dignified, strong and proud of their culture.</p>
