Abstract: During a survey carried out in Madagascar the use of photographs to support interviews (photo-elicitation interview) generated a number of " misunderstandings " that revealed themselves to be eventually " productive " for the understanding of the object of study. This shows the heuristic fruitfulness of what could be rapidly described as " methodological errors ". From this perspective of a reflexive analysis the author discusses the methodology proposed by John Collier (1967) and Dona Shwartz (1989) for this survey technique.
