This work examines the reasons why anthropologists have not used
the camera as a research instrument or film as a means of
communicating ethnographic knowledge. It suggests that images and
words in this discipline operate on different logical levels; that
they are hierarchically related; that whereas writings may
encompass the images produced by film, the inverse of this cannot
be true. The author argues for this position further by suggesting
that the visual is to the written mode as "thin description"
(giving a record of the form of behaviour) is to "thick
description" (giving an account of meaning). -- .
