Resumo: Este texto propõe examinar a capacidade das grafias em trespassar distintos domínios da produção antropológica. Em particular, interessa explicitar algumas das conexões e tensões entre os domínios da antropologia das imagens e da antropologia da ciência e da tecnologia por meio de grafias. Tal noção tem sido freqüentemente assemelhada a de inscrição – desenhos, escritas, imagens fílmicas e fotográficas, obras de arte – mas também pode indicar as coisas e seus rastros. O artigo percorre três articulações conhecidas, mas exemplares: entre texto e imagem; entre arte e tecnologia; entre conhecimento científico e saber tradicional, as quais enfatizam o potencial das grafias em nutrir o pensar e o fazer antropológico.  Palavras-Chave: grafias. Antropologia da imagem. Antropologia da ciência e da tecnologia ANTROPOLOGY OF IMAGES AND ANTROPOLOGY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: A REFLECTION TRANSPASSED BY GRAPHISMS Abstract: This paper proposes to explore the capacity of graphy/graphism to crossing different areas of anthropological production. In particular, the paper approaches some of the connections and tensions between the domains of the anthropology of images and the anthropology of science and technology through graphisms. This notion has often been associated to that of inscription - drawings, writings, film and photographic images, works of art - but it can also indicate things and their trails. The paper runs through three well known but exemplary articulations: between text and image; between art and technology; between scientific and traditional knowledge, which emphasize the potential of graphisms in nurturing the anthropological endeavour.Keywords: graphy/graphism. Anthropology of image. Anthropology of science and technology.

Work has recently begun in the Physics Department of the Manchester College of Science and Technology on an attempt to simulate lunar luminescence in the laboratory. This programme is running parallel with that of our colleagues in the Manchester University Astronomy Department, who are making observations of the luminescent spectrum of the Moon itself. Our instruments are as yet only partly completed, but we will describe briefly what they are to consist of, in the hope that we may benefit from the comments of others in the same field, and arrange to co-ordinate our work with theirs.
