Abstract


The author recommends that the analysis of the visual be turned into an epistemological marker for the social sciences. The joint study of ethnographic and photographic documents helps us understand how collective memory works, as an examination of the so-called «black towns» of 19th-century France illustrate. The material on these towns reveals the legitimizing role that images played in the colonial policies of the last century.
