This article explores the use of photographs and photographic methods in qualitative anthropological analysis. With a point of departure in the W. Baldwin Spencer and Francis J. Gillen collection of photographs, I discuss archive mining, photo repatriation, and collaborative photographic re-enactments of the original material during fieldwork in Central Australia. The combination of these methods through an interventionist approach generates a stimulating environment for cross-cultural and cross-temporal dialogue, centered on productive collaborations that invite cultural critique through juxtaposition and defamiliarization
