RESUMO
This work has as its leading thread the study of images in the anthropological Field. The catholic party of Corpus Christi was chosen as a research object for being an important cultural celebration in our country, which manifests itself mainly through visuality. Exploring it through photographs and iconographies provide us possibility of both plastic and symbolic approaches. Initially I introduce the research trajectory in which text and image reveal some notes I took, plus the work report, the pathways and the method taken in this research. Secondly I show some iconographies, engravings that tell the Corpus Christi s story also by text and images. These are interesting for revealing an unique dynamics, which I name here narrative-images, in which numeric indications and texts trace a reading path for these pictures. After this first structural approach, I attempt to understand how sacred and human are revealed in these engravings and how text and image are employed in these representations.This work s relevance lays in revealing how two forms of human communication, text and image, can have its maximum potentialities once they meet each other. Inserting these question in the anthropological field, we can get to know the connections that link studies on image and studies on society
