Abstract
The impossibility of achieving a fieldwork on the social practices of the water in Arizona, led me to reflect about the place of the image in anthropology. In this article I analyze the forms of visual restitution of photographic research materials within a visual anthropology project in the border between Guatemala and Mexico. The ethnographic research was conducted using a visual approach with people from indigenous communities. This article explores the use of photography when studying the problems and political conflicts behind the pollution of water sources. The photographs presented in this text analyze the discourses and the experiences of water. They reveal a specific form of organization and representation of the water in this region. The creation of multimedia narratives based on the assemblage of text, photographs and sound helps to disseminate the research results. This article shows how visual methods may new dialogues between the researchers and the informants.
