ANT 327 - Visual Anthropology

Institution:

Centre College

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on visual anthropology in its primary and original form: as a research practice. Specifically, we will investigate and practically explore the use of visual media as a tool for anthropological research and presentation. We will discuss visual anthropology both as a supplement to textually-focused ethnography, and as an end in itself, in the creation of a visual product that explicates cultural realities. The class will explore the three modes through which visual anthropologists have attempted to do this: still photography, motion film and video, and computer-based media. The class will combine the discussion of theoretical and ethical issues, film and video screenings, and practical assignments in visual ethnography, using a variety of available media. Prerequisite: ANT 110. Requires evening film screenings every other week.
