UR-LIST: WEB RESOURCES FOR VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY
The Web's the most comprehensive crossindex of sites related to VisualAnthropology. UR-LIST WEB RESOURCES FOR visual anthropology.
http://www.usc.edu/dept/elab/urlist/

Extractions: Introduction The Ur-List: Web Resources for Visual Anthropology facilitates web searches by cross-indexing three hundred and seventy-five anthropological sites according to the categories of information they contain. The Ur-List's cross-index is more accurate than most Web-resource guides which typically reduce a site's multifaceted content to only one category. In the Ur-List, sites may be accessed according to the twenty-two subject-categories listed above. Multifaceted sites are cross-referenced under all appropriate categories. A mouse-click selection of any of the subject-categories gives access to two kinds of Web resources. The first is dedicated exclusively to the subject that was selected. For example, Wendy Vissar's dark visual ethnography of rural Albania, Lekso's Codebox is listed only once under the "Dedicated Sites" heading of "Visual Ethnographies" (Category 5). The second kind of resources accessed are listed under multiple Ur-List categories.

In Encyclopedia of Cultural Anthropolog y, David Levinson and Melvin Ember, editors. New York: Henry Holt and Company, vol. 4:1345-1351. VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY Visual anthropology logically proceeds from the belief that culture is manifested through visible symbols embedded in gestures, ceremonies, rituals, and artifacts situated in constructed and natural environments. Culture is conceived of as manifesting itself in scripts with plots involving actors and actresses with lines, costumes, props, and settings. The cultural self is the sum of the scenarios in which one participates. If one can see culture, then researchers should be able to employ audiovisual technologies to record it as data amenable to analysis and presentation. Although the origins of visual anthropology are to be found historically in positivist assumptions that an objective reality is observable, most contemporary culture theorists emphasize the socially constructed nature of cultural reality and the tentative nature of our understanding of any culture. There is an obvious relationship between the supposition that culture is objectively observable and the popular belief in the neutrality, transparency, and objectivity of audiovisual technologies. From a positivist perspective, reality can be captured on film without the limitations of human consciousness Pictures provide an unimpeachable witness and: source of highly reliable data. Given those assumptions, it is logical that as soon as the technologies were available, anthropologists attempted to produce wit] the camera the sort of objective research data the could tee stored in archives and made available for stud by future generations (Edwards 1992).

THE TEACHING OF VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY - Jay Ruby
Jay Ruby challenges the idea that film is art and science is an objective chronicler of reality in Category Science Social Sciences visual anthropologyTHE TEACHING OF visual anthropology (1). From The Teaching of visual anthropology,Paulo Chiozzi, editor. Firenze Editrice Il Sedicensimo. 1989.
http://www.temple.edu/anthro/ruby/teaching.html

Extractions: Temple University, Philadelphia From The Teaching of Visual Anthropology , Paulo Chiozzi, editor. Firenze: Editrice Il Sedicensimo. 1989. (Note - Original page numbers have been preserved for citations purposes.) Visual Anthropology appears to be in a perpetual state of flux. Unable to find a niche with a reasonably secure power base, it occupies a position marginal to mainstream academic social science and to the commercial worlds of independent film and educational television. In North America, its most enduring feature is the fact that teachers use ethnographic films, and college television courses such as Faces of Culture are successful (1). When social documentaries are labeled anthropological, our field becomes confused with social reformist/liberal-leftist politics espoused in most documentary films. While many anthropologists might agree with the sentiment, confounding a political aesthetic with anthropology helps no one. It merely serves to thwart the socio-political agendas of documentarians and scholarly/ educational desires of anthropologists. In addition, there are the economic factors. Film work is expensive. Location productions can cost in excess of US Dollars 4,000 per finished minute. If one seeks broad exposure, videotaping is not a viable alternative since it is often impractical to shoot under field conditions and finishing costs

Visual Anthropology: Introduction
A paper by W. Matthew Ball (5/97)studying three subdivisions of visual anthropology, still photography, film, and computer multimedia applications.
http://www.criticaldesign.com/anthropo/visanth/visanth.htm

Extractions: Subject, Author, and Audience in Visual Anthropology W. Matthew Ball (5/97) "Why and for whom do we put the camera amongst people? Strangely enough, my first response to this will always be the same: 'For myself'." - Jean Rouch, The Camera and Man In This paradox is but the first of many problems anthropologists have had to take up with visual anthropology. Another immediate question is Why do visual anthropology? How are photographic methods and their resulting products valuable to anthropology, and what do the ethnographer, his audience, or the people studied have to gain from such a seemingly problematic practice? Aside from epistemological considerations, there are many concerns with methodology, analysis, and presentation in visual anthropology which still have not been resolved. So why is visual anthropology being practiced today? Because despite its problems, it is a practice which has the potential for increased anthropological understanding of the cultures it touches. By its nature, it is a practice which like ethnography itself adds to our existing knowledge base of the many differing cultures of our world. As human beings, we can not know what it is to be another human being. The history of anthropological theory can attest to this empirical truth. Nor can we know a culture as we know our own. But the goals of visual anthropology are the same as the larger discipline itself - to increase our understanding of others beyond current levels through the study and interpretation of culture. We can only gain increased understanding through the continuing efforts to this end with efficient use of increasingly viable visual technology. Margaret Mead begins the book
