In the first three sessions, students are introduced to core readings and analytical concepts in visual anthropology and a variety of (audio)visual examples, as well as tools for film analysis, which they will later use for their final essays. In the following three interactive sessions students watch and discuss classic and experimental ethnographic and documentary films in order to critically engage with the politics of image making. We furthermore discuss collectively different (audio)visual forms of (self)representations and story-telling. The last session provides space for reflection and students’ questions on their final-essays.Learning Outcomes
With the seminar students develop a better understanding of the development of ethnographic documentary film and therefore a coherent context for the question of how to study films and visual culture. Students know and apply anthropological concepts and theories in visual anthropology to designated case examples and understand the meaning of film culture in contemporary anthropology. They learn to critically analyse representations in context, use socio-culturally sensitive concepts of film- and image analysis and learn to discuss contrasting approaches to the genre of ethnographic film.Additional learning outcomes
Students know central theories, key concepts and literature in visual anthropology
Students acquire the skill of critical debate, discussion, rhetoric and analytical thinking
Students enhance their efficiency in academic writing and group work
