FILM 41.04 Ethnographic Film

Ethnographic film crosses the boundaries of academic anthropology and popular media. This course will address the construction of meaning in ethnographic films in relation to the parallel concerns of anthropology. We will consider approaches to film style, the relation of visual media to ethnographic representation, and the challenges visual forms poses to written ethnographies. The class will appeal to anthropology and film students as well as students interested in the politics of cross-cultural representation.
