N2  - This paper will discuss an on-going project involving 3 researchers and 4 inuit communities in Nunavik (Kangiqsujuaq, Umiujaq and Kuujjuaraapik) and in the NWT (Ulukhaktok, called Holman until 2006.) The project looks at pictures taken by Inuit and representing their families and/or their surroundings (human settlements, the land and landscapes), in familiar or unfamiliar settings (i.e: a campsite outside one's community vs a southern city where one was visiting). Depending on the topic different methodologies are used for data collections. Véronique Antomarchi will mainly work on family photo albums handed out to her by Inuit from Kangiqsujuaq, Umiujaq and Kuujjuaraapik. Béatrice Collignon will build and analyze a collection of pictures taken by Ulukhaktuurmiut when travelling outside of their region and chosen by themselves, at her request, as their "favourite" and/or "most representative" ones. Meanwhile, Fabienne Joliet (PI of the project) will set a "landscape photographic observatory" in Kangiqsujuaq (Nunavik), with professional Inuit photographer Yaaka Yaaka taking pictures of the same view 6 times/year from 2012 to 2014. This series will complement the one she already gathered from 2009 to 2011 in the communities of Umiujaq and Kuujjuaraapik where inhabitants were asked to take pictures of their favourite landscapes in their surroundings (the community and the most travelled land around). Through the crossed study of these collections we seek to better understand Inuit self-representation of one's self and one's culture, as well as raise awareness of the value of such self-representation, both among Inuit and non-Inuit. At this early stage of the project comments and suggestions from the audience will be more than welcome.
