How does this visualization (including caption) advance ethnographic insight? What message | argument | sentiment | etc. does this visualization communicate or represent?

This is a powerful image. Although a bit dark, it does capture what the caption describes: the way in which fishermen use their body to know and relate with toxicity. Toxicity is immersive.

Can you suggest ways to enrich this image to extend its ethnographic import?

I like it as it is —I would like for it to have more light, so the fishermen’s bodies are more visible and we have a more sense of the space. But, in general, I think it is a good image.

What kind of image is this? Is it a found image or created by the ethnographer (or a combination)? What is notable about its composition | scale of attention | aesthetic?

I believe this image was produced by the author. What I like about it is the light in the middle —which, despite of making the picture a bit too dark, also produces a provocative composition, it invites the audience to pay attention, it draws the eye towards the light.

Can you suggest ways to elaborate the caption of this visualization to extend its ethnographic message?

I would like for the author to start with the interlocutors’ bodies, rather than their narratives (which are integrally related but are not the same). To evoke the corporeal and sensorial experience of putting one’s body in toxic water… and to do so in a way that summons a different yet complementary meaning than that of the image itself.
