Abstract

This paper proposes a review of the film The Eagle, directed by anthropologists Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier & Rose Satiko Gitirana Hikiji. It focuses on the contributions of the sensitive approach of the trajectory of a Cuban immigrant in Canada, Miguel Aguila, provided by the use of audiovisual tools. It aims to reflect on the potential of the senses and sensitive perception in the exercise of analyzing social life, and more specifically the issues related to migration, illness and other lived difficulties. It highlights how, by relying on the associative, sensitive and imagetic dimensions around the figure of an eagle, the audiovisual tools can help to expand the field of observation but also the forms of writing the research. They constitute an important contribution in obtaining elements and nuances that escape immediate attention. The sounds and images also allowing a fine reconstitution of these nuances.
