Visualising situatedness. The role of the audience / reader in knowledge production (translated from English by E.M. Karageorgii)

The article is based on field research conducted in Northern Cameroon with the use of a camera as a research tool. The authors investigate the problem of producing anthropological knowledge. Based on specific examples (survey materials), they prove the need to study the actions of all three actors participating in anthropological representations - the researcher, the informant, and the recipient (reader, viewer). Particular attention is paid to how the views of the researchers themselves and their informants about the imaginary, presumed or actual audience (reader) influence the representation of knowledge.
