7. Observational Cinema: Anthropology, Film, and the Exploration of Social Life by Anna Grimshaw, Amanda Ravetz | |

Editorial Review Product Description Once hailed as a radical breakthrough in documentary and ethnographic filmmaking, observational cinema has been criticized for a supposedly detached camera that objectifies and dehumanizes the subjects of its gaze. Anna Grimshaw and Amanda Ravetz provide the first critical history and in-depth appraisal of this movement, examining key works, filmmakers, and theorists, from André Bazin and the Italian neorealists, to American documentary films of the 1960s, to extended discussions of the ethnographic films of Herb Di Gioia, David Hancock, and David MacDougall. They make a new case for the importance of observational work in an emerging experimental anthropology, arguing that this medium exemplifies a non-textual anthropology that is both analytically rigorous and epistemologically challenging. |

Editorial Review Product Description There has been an explosion of interest in visual culture - coming largely from work in sociology, anthropology and cultural studies. While there are a number of practical and technical manuals available for film, photographic and other visual media, there is a dearth of writing that combines both the practical and the technical. This book redresses this with a balanced approach that is written primarily for students in the social sciences who wish to use visual materials in the course of empirical, qualitative field research. It should also be of interest to experienced researchers who wish to expand their methodological approaches. Visual methods provides empirical approaches to both image creation and image analysis, drawing on a wide range of examples: from research conducted on Egyptian television soap opera, to the sale of ethnographic photographs in London auction houses, to pornographic images on the Web. New technologies are also included, with image digitization and computer-based multimedia extensively covered. There are sections on using film and photographic archives, and useful practical advice on publishing and presenting the results of visual research. Marcus Banks stresses the material nature of visual media, as objects that are entangled in social relations and argues for a humanistic, engaged and reflexive approach to social research. This book will be an indispensable guide for the use and study of social images. |

Editorial Review Product Description Visual Methodologies is an introduction to reading visual culture. It explains which methods are available to the undergraduate student and shows exactly how to use them. The text begins with a discussion of general themes and recent debates, on the meaning of culture and the function of the visual, that offers a critical inquiry into the relation of visual images to social identities and social relations. Following chapters then go on to investigate in detail - through an integrated theoretical and applied discussion - different methods for interpreting visual images. The strengths and weaknesses of each method are discussed in relation to a detailed case study, as well as to the more general issues outlined in the introduction. These methods include: · Compositional interpretation · Content analysis · Semiology · Psychoanalysis · Discourse analysis · Audience analysis An integrated primer on studying visual culture - illustrated throughout, with key terms cross-referenced and defined - Visual Methodologies will be the first reference for any undergraduate in the social sciences beginning research. |

Editorial Review Product Description Poole presents a wide range of images from operas, scientific expeditions, nationalist projects, and picturesque artists that both effectively elucidate her argument and contribute to an impressive history of photography. Vision, Race, and Modernity is a fascinating attempt to study the changing terrain of racial theory as part of a broader reorganization of vision in European society and culture. |

Editorial Review Product Description Photography, video and electronic media are becoming increasingly incorporated into ethnographic work as 'cultural texts' demanding new approaches and research methods through which knowledge is negotiated, produced and represented. The author adopts the viewpoint that visual research methods should be rooted in a critical understanding of local and academic visual cultures, the visual media and technologies being used and the ethical issues they raise. Doing Visual Ethnography demonstrates that these new challenges that shape ethnographic knowledge can be met by understanding the reflexivity and experience through which visual and ethnographic materials are produced and interpreted. The book follows the research process from project design planning and implementing and practising fieldwork to analysis and representation suggesting how visual images and technologies can be combined to form an integrated process throughout the different stages of research. Drawing from her own experience of using photography, video and hypermedia in research, as well as the work of others, the author reviews and discusses practical examples and case studies that will enable the student and researcher to embark on their own research project. An excellent resource for students of sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, media studies, and those doing ethnographic and qualitative research. |
