| Sumario: | The dominant narratives and representations on African territories are debated by contributions that question, investigate, explore and produce territorial knowledge in a critical and committed manner. The work of the photojournalists unfolds a process of production and research prior to the realization of the publications and elaboration after the fieldwork in the territory. The problematization of the landscapes observed and analyzed by these professionals is closely linked to the work of geographers because they share spatial analysis strategies. Their voices become alternatives because they show unseen realities and allow to broaden the critical view of distant territories. This paper aims to establish the connections between geographical knowledge and the contributions of photojournalists doing fieldwork in different territories of the African continent. First, a theoretical argumentation of the perspective of personal geographies is elaborated, then the articulations between geography and image are analyzed, and finally, publications in different formats by the Argentinean Juan Ignacio Incardona, the Colombian Salym Fayad and the Spanish Xaxier Aldekoa are presented. The results of this research aim to establish dialogues between research and teaching of African themes. |
