ANTH 125 - Visual AnthropologySemester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course explores the role of photography, cinema, and related means of communication in non-western, “third-world,” and indigenous societies. Film (motion and still) was used initially in anthropology to supplement ethnographic research, and subsequently became a genre known as documentaries. This course will critically examine the classic, pioneering documentaries in the genre. It will examine past and contemporary debates about the politics of representation, including questions of ethnocentrism and stereotypes, and it will consider how indigenous filmmakers use film to promote social justice and indigenous rights.
