Abstract
This paper analyzes some of the most inherent characteristics of photography and the digital image as well as their implications as a research tool in the social sciences. The text is organized in two different parts. In the first, the discussion presented that makes it possible to understand them as ontologically distinct. In the text, we seek to situate the respective historical contexts of their emergence and development. We used Karel Kosik's categories of concreticity and pseudoconcreticity as an analytical guide between essence and appearance. In the second part, we used a photograph produced in the Quilombola Community Chacrinha dos Pretos, in Belo Vale, Minas Gerais, in that we discussed some research data and implications of a digital and photography production in the field work.
