The problematic of research concerns the general direction that your research will take.
The Problematic as questions: • 1- To what extent the ritual acts performed by these animals or anthropo-zoomorphic beings correspond to observable comportment of similar animals in the natural environment ? • 2- Amongst the animals represented, are there species sharing similar comportment? In such cases, do they share also inter-related ritual actions?
The problematic of research concerns the general direction that your research will take. It also represents the broad questions that you want to investigate. Broad questions which can be subdivided in a series of sub-units. Animals El Niño Animals Nocturnal Animals • 2- Amongst the animals represented, are there species sharing similar comportment? In such cases, do they share also inter-related ritual actions?
Four principal stages of an iconographic analysis • 1 -The definition of a subject of research. • 2 -The formulation of a research hypothesis. • 3 -The creation of a corpus of research. • 4- The exact identification of the elements represented.
Subject of Research • It consists in posing the principal problem to be studied.
Subject of Research Hypothesis of Research • It permits to circumscribe the general objectives and to retain during the fieldwork the greatest amount of information possible.
Subject of Research Hypothesis of Research Pre-analysis Data Collecting • Your sample has to be as representative as possible.
Subject of Research Hypothesis of Research Pre-analysis Data Collecting Pre-identification Corpus of Investigation • This phase aims at collecting the data for the analysis.

Primary Sources • The primary sources are all the documents written or visual that leads to a first compilation, identification and interpretation of the iconographic corpus. These sources can come from anthropology, the natural sciences, health sciences, etc. The sources are not used to identify the representations but to explain them.
Secondary Sources • The secondary sources are all the documents written or visual that permit to study the first interpretations but in a diachronic perspective. These documents can come from ethnology or ethnohistory and permit to show continuities or discontinuities of certain themes. …
Secondary Sources • It thus can help to show if the cognitive concepts underlying certain representations have persisted through time, and if the written sources can help to understand better the meaning of the representations.
