CV Manifesto Commission on Visual nthropologyuidelines for v lopingst n r s v lu tion rdiverse forms of medi tion in nthropology9 August 2 13

Metje Postma1 ([email protected])

In 2001 the AAA published a Report called: Statementon Ethnographic Visual Media in which they stated:Committees tasked with appraising the significance ofvisual media as academic contributions to the

disciplineto teaching, scholarly research, and appliedanthropologycan benefit from evaluative criteria(American Anthropologist, Vol. 104, No. 1, pp. 305-6,March 2002). It is in this line of thinking that theCVA decided to organize a Forum to discuss how wecould advance the further acceptance of non-textualforms of representation in academia. For, althoughthose guidelines (developed under the advisement of theSociety for Visual Anthropology) helped toacknowledge that non-textual forms of representationshould be considered as academic outcomes ofethnographic research, visual anthropologists andstudents that work within academia all over the world,still lack institutionalised bodies and agreed upon

1 The original text that was presented at the forum inManchester was composed with input from:P.I.Crawford, M. Postma, H. Prins, K. Oesther, F.Hughes Freeland, A. Grossmann, R. Ragazzi, B.Engelbrecht, A. Torresan, I.Kawase, B. Jiang,K.Hanson, A. Lawrence et all.

academic standards that help to evaluate and accredittheir audio-visual publications.

These shortcomings are encountered when applying foracademic funding, when trying to get audiovisualproductions acknowledged as academic publications,

and when discussing evaluation criteria for non-textualproducts of anthropological research done by students,with colleague-anthropologists. It is precisely becausedifferent forms of representation are increasingly beingused and acknowledged within anthropology that theneed to find a common language and epistemologicalground to discuss the processes and products of suchpractices, within mainstream anthropology, becomesmore and more crucial.

The discussion that took place during the IUAES Con-gress 2013 in Manchester on the 9th of August, onestablishing guidelines that may help to develop stand-ards of evaluation for audiovisual media productionsin Anthropology was lively and the aims of the forumwere widely acknowledged. The need to integrate othermedia in the anthropological endeavour is seen as anirreversible process. Therefore the establishment of anew on-line Visual Anthropology journal by Vaneasa:

Anthrovision (http://anthrovi sion.revues.org/) thatallows the publication of multimedia articles can beseen as a first allowance for the realisation of those aims.

The manifesto that was the result of the discussionintends to offer academic institutions guidelines theycan make use of, when starting a discussion ondeveloping their own standards for evaluating non-textual forms of representation within theiranthropology departments. It is not our intention to

strictly define these standards here as we are convincedthat a discussion in the field benefits from diverse pointsof view that can and will be exchanged and developed aspart of academic discourse worldwide.

In 2009, Peter Crawford performed a survey into ifand how centres of Visual Anthropology inside univer-sities world-wide dealt with allowing non textual pro-ductions as academic output and what experiences theyhad with developing criteria or guidelines for the eva-luation of such different forms of mediation in anthro-pology. His findings were published previously in theNAFA/CVA Newsletter Volume 17-5 of October 2010(http://nafa.uib.no/newsletter/NAFA_Network_vol_17_5_Oct_2010.pdf) and can be summarised by theobservation that full acceptance has been reached andstandards have been developed in some countries,noteworthy the UK, Australia, Switzerland and theUSA and recently also in the Netherlands, where insome universities standards were developed that enablethe evaluation of non-textual products of anthropologystudents, but still many visual anthropologists and stu-

Call for Papers Producers and Audiencesnt rnational Conference Media and Communication Research Lund University Sweden

March 20, 2014

Professor Annette Hill, Dr Tina Askanius, Joanna Doonaand Carolina Martinez.

Media production and culture are intricately connected.Producers create, produce, distribute and sell content,formats and brands for international audiences. Weengage and disengage with creative content, formats andbrands, as publics, viewers, listeners, fans, consumers

and participants. And media producers and audiencescan switch roles, leading a double life as creators andconsumers, producers and users. Yet despite theseconnections, production and audience studies tradition-ally remain separate spheres. Recent developments inthe business of media and cultural industries highlightshifts in production, distribution, economics andcultural experiences across a range of content fromtelevision, film, radio, music, print, digital and mobilemedia. How can production and audience researchallow space for broader questions about culture and ourengagement with it? This conference explores challenges

for production and audience research, theory andpractice. The aim is to examine the complex interplay

between production and culture in global, political,industrial and social contexts.

The conference follows three areas of enquiry in media,communication and cultural studies: relations betweenproducers and audiences; theories, methods andpractices; and creative content for contemporarymediascapes.

Areas of research enquiry include:

Political, social, economic and cultural relationsbetween producers and audiences.

Production and audience theories, methods andpractices.

Empirical research in production and/or cultureacross diverse genres and content, includingtelevision, film, radio, music, print, digital andmobile media.

Fans and anti-fans. International formats for global audiences.

The schedule includes a combination of keynoteaddresses, pre-constituted panels, and open panels.Confirmed speakers include Professor John Corner(Leeds University, UK), Professor Peter Dahlgren(Lund University, Sweden), Julie Donovan(International Formats Consultant), Professor AnnetteHill (Lund University, Sweden) Professor Vicki Mayer(Tulane University, USA), Jane Roscoe (Head ofInternational Content for SBS Australia), Professor

EYE MINDMaster s Degree Programme in Visual Anthropology t arhus UniversityDeadline for pplications March 5 201Deadline for applications is 15 March.

With the Masters Degree programme in VisualAnthropology, Moesgaard Museum and AarhusUniversity aim to establish a research environmentwhere students, scholars, artists, film- and exhibition-makers can experiment and develop forms of inquiryand representation that allow a close engagement withcross-cultural experience and imagination. The new

museum site of Moesgaard provides a window throughwhich students, film- and exhibition-makers can enterdirectly into dialogue with the broad public. Further-more, the museum provides a unique public laboratoryfor experimenting with diverse methodologies andtechnologies of representation. This is of value not onlyto students and researchers, but also to the museum,whose ambition it is to allow visitors to share in the verycreation of anthropological knowledge.

In the autumn of 2013 the new museum buildingopened to students and staff and in the autumn of 2014Denmarks first new-built cultural historical museum

will be inaugurated. The building adds 16,000 squaremeters to the museum and thus sets the stage for avariety of new exhibition opportunities includingspecial editing facilities, lecture halls and exhibitionspace for students in the programme in visualanthropology.

Anthropologists are increasingly recognizing the need tobroaden the scope of their methodology and analytical

expression. Traditional academic representations in theform of written articles or monographs excel in theirability to provide insights into the cultural practices,norms, rules and institutions by which people live. Butto engage fully with the complexities of social life,anthropology needs alternative academic languages thatallow researchers to explore the role of perception,imagination and emotion in human interaction. Newsocial media and audiovisual technologies of

communication offer unique possibilities for engagingand bringing into dialogue the whole of the humansensorium and imaginative capacities. Publicinstitutions, private organizations and academia areincreasingly demanding audiovisual methods that canfacilitate cross-cultural analysis, dialogue andimagination. The overall aim of this programme is toqualify students of anthropology and related disciplinesto take on the task of audiovisual research, consultancyand communication in the contemporary world.

The programme is not only designed for students whowish to become ethnographic film directors or museum

curators. The emphasis is on educating full-scaleanthropologists with special capabilities in audiovisualanalysis and communication. In addition to specificthemes in visual anthropology, students attend coursesin general anthropological debates and methodologies.This grounding in broad theoretical debates allowsstudents to engage in audiovisual communication ofrelevance beyond the specialized field of visualanthropology.

Throughout the programme students produce anumber of visual anthropological presentationsculminating in the production of a thesis comprised of avisual anthropological product (film, photography,museum installation, multimedia) and a written partwith further methodological, analytical andrepresentational reflections. Through intensive andongoing engagement in audiovisual communication,students receive skills in operating video and photo

cameras, sound recording, composition, video editing aswell as practical experience in designing and managingaudiovisual projects. Lecturers with a variety ofprofessional backgrounds within the audiovisualproduction industry provide insight into aspects such asdevelopment, production, broadcasting andfundraising.

Dear friends and colleagues,

We are very happy to announce the publication of ournew book "Transcultural Montage" including 18 essaysby anthropologists, filmmakers, photographers, and

TR NSCULTUR L MONT GESummaryThe disruptive power of montage has often been

regarded as a threat to scholarly representations of thesocial world. This volume asserts the opposite: that thedestabilization of commonsense perception is the veryprecondition for transcending social and culturalcategories. The contributorsanthropologists, film-makers, photographers, and curatorsexplore the useof montage as a heuristic tool for comparative analysisin anthropological writing, film, and exhibition making.Exploring phenomena such as human perception,memory, visuality, ritual, time, and globalization, theyapply montage to restructure our basic understanding ofsocial reality. Furthermore, as George E. Marcus sug-

gests in the afterword, the power of montage that thisvolume exposes lies in its ability to open the very"combustion chamber" of social theory by juxtaposingone's claims to knowledge with the path undertaken toarrive at those claims.

NEW BOOK: Design Anthropology:Theory and PracticeWendy Gunn, Ton Otto , Rachel Charlotte Smith

Design Anthropology. Theory and PracticeBloomsbury Publishing 2013

Design is a key site of cultural production and changein contemporary society. Anthropologists have beeninvolved in design projects for several decades but onlyrecently a new field of inquiry has emerged which aimsto integrate the strengths of design thinking andanthropological research.

This book is written by anthropologists who activelyparticipate in the development of design anthropology.Comprising both cutting-edge explorations andtheoretical reflections, it provides a much-neededintroduction to the concepts, methods, practices andchallenges of the new field. Design Anthropology movesfrom observation and interpretation to collaboration,intervention and co-creation. Its practitionersparticipate in multidisciplinary design teams workingtowards concrete solutions for problems that aresometimes ill-defined. The authors address the criticalpotential of design anthropology in a wide range ofdesign activities across the globe and query the impactof design on the discipline of anthropology.

This volume will appeal to new and experiencedpractitioners in the field as well as to students ofanthropology, innovation, science and technologystudies, and a wide range of design studies focusing onuser participation, innovation, and collaborativeresearch.

NEW BOOK: Participatory Visual andDigital Methods

Aline Gubrium and Krista Harper2013, Walnut Creek: Left Coast Press

Gubrium and Harper describe how visual and digitalmethodologies can contribute to a participatory, public-engaged ethnography. These methods can change thetraditional relationship between academic researchers

and the community, building one that is moreaccessible, inclusive, and visually appealing, and onethat encourages community members to reflect andengage in issues in their own communities. The authorsdescribe how to use photovoice, film and video, digitalstorytelling, GIS, digital archives and exhibits inparticipatory contexts, and include numerous casestudies demonstrating their utility around the world.

NAFA Network vol. 20.4 December 2013): Notice Board 13NEW RELEASE OF FILMS

We are proud to announce the release of filmsby Argentinian cinematic icon, Jorge Prelorn. Prelornwas a pioneer in the field of ethnographic documentary

film; his films are not only beautiful to watch, but alsooffer insights to compliment and enhance courses inLatin American Studies, Anthropology, and Film.

Imaginero (Hermgenes Cayo)This film is an ethnobiography of Hermgenes Cayo, aself-taught woodcarver and painter who lives on thehigh Andean plateau of Argentina with his wife andchildren. The film weaves a portrait of Cayo, the craftof image making, an indigenous Catholicism, as well asportraying the lifestyle of a solitary Andean familybraving the harsh conditions of their surroundings. The

relationship between individual and culture, as well ascultural change, is artfully expressed by Prelorn.

Cochengo MirandaCochengo Miranda has lived in the Pampas region ofCentral Argentina for over 30 years, and has raised hisfamily there. He is a descendant from early Spanishsettlers in the region, where many of its traditions arestill kept alive even though transculturation is rapidlytaking its toll. This film is a warm, intimate portrait oflife in a little-known region of the world, as told to usby the settlers themselves.

Zulay, Facing the 21st CenturyFilmed over a span of 8 years, this film is based ondialogue between Zulay Saravino, an indigenousOtavalea of Equador living in LA, and MabelPrelorn, an Argentine anthropologist. The filmexplores transculturation and its implications for

identity, education, economic advancement andemotional ties.

And as a companion to these films, don't miss Tracesand Memory of Jorge Prelorn, an excellent portrait ofthe filmmaker.

You can order through our website, or by calling theoffice at 617-926-0491 or toll-free at 800-569-662. Ifyou would like to review any of these films, please emailme.
