Abstract:
© 2020 Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia. All rights reserved. This article analyzes a selection of letters written by migrants and photographic images made to them, and collected in the work Encyclopedia of Migrants. The work is the result of research funded by the EU and developed, simultaneously, in 8 cities in France, Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar. The letters are addressed to a person who stayed in their homeland and explain their personal experiences, their emotions, feelings and perceptions regarding the migratory process. The images were made by an artistic photographer under the premise that both the stage and the objects portrayed were chosen by the migrant himself. The portraits were conceived as a kind of ethnophotography in which the images and their contents are analyzed simultaneously (through the method of iconological analysis), particularly the conception of the body and the emotions of the migrants.
