Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

It is been said that an average 'Bushman' family consists of father, mother, kin and an anthropologist. 'Bushmen' are not only one of the most-researched ethnic groups, but also pose the subject matter of myriad films and audio-visual representations. One may perhaps even speak of an 'obsession' for filmmakers within and beyond anthropological documentaries. The course will give an overview of concrete examples (including self-produced films for television) and aims to assess and critique their economy of interests. It will do that in a discursive mode and therefore seeks the active critical participation of participants.
