   Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Visual anthropology is a subfield of cultural anthropology that developed out of the study and production of ethnographic photography, film and since the mid- new media . While the term is sometimes used interchangeably with ethnographic film , visual anthropology also encompasses the anthropological study of representation, including areas such as performance, museums art , and the production and reception of mass media Even before the emergence of anthropology as an academic discipline in the ethnologists were using photography as a tool of research. Anthropologists and non-anthropologists conducted much of this work in the spirit of salvage ethnography or attempts to record for posterity the ways-of-life of societies assumed doomed to extinction (see, for instance, the Native American photography of Edward Curtis The history of anthropological filmmaking is intertwined with that of non-fiction and documentary filmmaking.

   Extractions: The Society for Visual Anthropology ( SVA), a section of the American Anthropological Association, promotes the study of visual representation and media . Both research methods and teaching strategies fall within the scope of the society. SVA members are involved in all aspects of production, dissemination, and analysis of visual forms. Works in film, video, photography, and computer-based multimedia explore signification, perception, and communication-in-context, as well as a multitude of other anthropological and ethnographic themes. Founded in 1984, the Society for Visual Anthropology promotes the use of images for the description, analysis, communication and interpretation of human [and sometimes nonhuman) behavior. Members have interests in all visual aspects of culture, including art, architecture and material artifacts, as well as kinesics, proxemics and related forms of body motion communication (e.g. gesture, emotion, dance, sign language).

In Encyclopedia of Cultural Anthropolog y, David Levinson and Melvin Ember, editors. New York: Henry Holt and Company, vol. 4:1345-1351. VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY Visual anthropology logically proceeds from the belief that culture is manifested through visible symbols embedded in gestures, ceremonies, rituals, and artifacts situated in constructed and natural environments. Culture is conceived of as manifesting itself in scripts with plots involving actors and actresses with lines, costumes, props, and settings. The cultural self is the sum of the scenarios in which one participates. If one can see culture, then researchers should be able to employ audiovisual technologies to record it as data amenable to analysis and presentation. Although the origins of visual anthropology are to be found historically in positivist assumptions that an objective reality is observable, most contemporary culture theorists emphasize the socially constructed nature of cultural reality and the tentative nature of our understanding of any culture. There is an obvious relationship between the supposition that culture is objectively observable and the popular belief in the neutrality, transparency, and objectivity of audiovisual technologies. From a positivist perspective, reality can be captured on film without the limitations of human consciousness Pictures provide an unimpeachable witness and: source of highly reliable data. Given those assumptions, it is logical that as soon as the technologies were available, anthropologists attempted to produce wit] the camera the sort of objective research data the could tee stored in archives and made available for stud by future generations (Edwards 1992).

   The Web s the most comprehensive crossindex of sites related to visual anthropology.  
   http://www.usc.edu/dept/elab/urlist/
   
   Extractions: Introduction The Ur-List: Web Resources for Visual Anthropology facilitates web searches by cross-indexing three hundred and seventy-five anthropological sites according to the categories of information they contain. The Ur-List's cross-index is more accurate than most Web-resource guides which typically reduce a site's multifaceted content to only one category. In the Ur-List, sites may be accessed according to the twenty-two subject-categories listed above. Multifaceted sites are cross-referenced under all appropriate categories. A mouse-click selection of any of the subject-categories gives access to two kinds of Web resources. The first is dedicated exclusively to the subject that was selected. For example, Wendy Vissar's dark visual ethnography of rural Albania, Lekso's Codebox is listed only once under the "Dedicated Sites" heading of "Visual Ethnographies" (Category 5). The second kind of resources accessed are listed under multiple Ur-List categories.

    Extractions: CULTURAL Undergraduate Focus: The Department of Anthropology offers an undergraduate major The focus has two primary objectives: (a) to train students to understand the relevant social, cultural, political, economic, and religious dimensions of these visual forms and (b) to provide technical competency in communicating anthropological knowledge in a visual format, including video, film, photography, and others made possible by computer technology. The program maintains strong ties with the linguistic anthropology program within the Department of Anthropology and with other programs within the university, including Film and Media Arts, Photography, Theater, Dance, Art History, Journalism, and Urban Studies. In previous years, students have enrolled in additional graduate seminars in these programs. The department is equipped with a Visual Laboratory Graduate Focus Professors Niyi Akinasso, Paul Garrett, Jayasinhji Jhala and Denise O'Brien are the primary faculty for this orientation. The Department aspires to add new faculty in the near future. With that in mind, Professors Paul Stoller and Gray Gordon have visiting faculty appointments for this year (2004-2005). Other resources in the university include Professors Paul Swann and Roderick Coover of the Film Department, Miles Orwell of English, Gerald Silk of Art History, Noel Carroll and Philip Alperson of Philosophy who are supportive of innovative cross-disciplinary work.

    Extractions: The programme leaves the definition of visual anthropology wide open. It considers various arguments about this sub-field, but also looks beyond immediate disciplinary concerns in order to enlarge the possibilities for a visual anthropology that is not only connected with the professional concerns of anthropologists, but also adequately presents anthropologically-informed representations to other audiences. The MA is taught through a combination of lectures/seminars and hands-on training in the use of digital camcorders, sound recording equipment, and video editing, and your final project is a 20-minute video. The central aim of the programme is the production of visual work within a critical and conceptual framework provided by anthropology. You can view examples of our students' films What you study Through compulsory core courses you are introduced to a wide range of relevant topics which currently include: the anthropology of art; visual anthropology; ethnographic film and cinema studies; and a general anthropological consideration of representation. Our dedicated production facilities include digital camcorders, a variety of sound recording equipment and Final Cut Pro editing stations, and you will produce a series of practical projects throughout the year.

    Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar Pictorial Studies Of Human Cultures Who are the Adivasis? Some 67.76 million or 8.08 per cent of the population of India have been designated as 'Scheduled Tribes' (STs) - generally referred to as Adivasis. The term 'STs' indicates those communities specified by the President of India under Article 342 of the Constitution of India. 'Geographical isolation, distinctive culture, primitivity [sic], shynessand economic backwardness [sic]' are some of the criteria considered relevant for scheduling as tribes. Although scheduling is intended to be a legal process, arbitrariness and political expediency are often factors indetermining the recognition and non-recognition of Adivasis (indigenous peoples) as STs in the absence of a clear definition. For example, only some sections of a particular group have been scheduled in one state, while being omitted in another. Also some non-indigenous or non-tribal peoples have been included in the category.

January Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa EVENTS Images for Exercise 1 September More... Visual Anthropology Certainly depicting other cultures on film has been a goal of early anthropologists and documentary filmmakers, but what does such a practice say about those who made these films, their knowledge of the culture and their ethical behavior? How do images captured on celluloid or video reflect our societal ideas about other cultures and what they represent? What do ethnographic films say about our society, our conceptions of other societies and where we are in relation to them? To answer these questions the course focuses on critical examination of ethnographic and anthropological films, beginning with early documentaries and extending to contemporary films for TV and the classroom. A sequence of films (videos) will be shown and discussed in class. Readings on anthropological filmmaking will be assigned to correspond to issues posed by specific films. Topics include filmmaking strategies and techniques, pros and cons of film versus written accounts, ethics of filmmaking, representation of cultural difference, and the nature of audience reaction.

Over the last five years I have been incorporating videography into my ethnographic and community-based research projects at the Hispanic Health Projects .   In the summer of 2003 I attended the International Film and Video Workshops at Rockport College in Maine and studied filmmaking with some wonderfully talented visual artists.  Subsequently, I twice assisted the documentary filmmaker, Bill Megalos, teaching the Workshops documentary filmmaking class in Oaxaca, Mexico.  As a cultural anthropologist, with many years of experience living and working in Mexico and other countries, videography has given me a new way to communicate my ideas and research findings, it has also inspired me to broaden my notions of ethnographic research methods to including visual data gathering and analysis.  I teach Visual Anthropology to undergraduate and graduate students at Idaho State University; participants from my classes screen their video ethnographies at our annual SpudDance film festival. I spent the last two summers as a visiting academic at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia where I was in residence teaching ethnographic videography to anthropologists from Australia, New Zealand, East Timor and SE Asia.  I was also invited to spent a couple weeks in Hanoi doing a videography training course for health professionals in December 2006.  Videography is an important tool for ethnographers and other social science researchers.
