Workshop
- Convened by
- Carlos Flores Angela Torresan Antonio Zirion
This workshop will offer a space for Latin American researchers to discuss methodological and theoretical issues around their own ethnographic film-making or works of other relevant film-makers. The idea is to assess the ways new technological developments in the digital world and sociocultural transformations are shaping the region’s ethnographic filmmaking in the 21st century. Of particular importance are: migration, transnational and virtual communities; resistance and social movements; and the emergence of new subjects of anthropological enquiry.
We aim to discuss different forms of political and methodological engagement and collaboration with subjects, both in the field and in the editing process; persistent and new narratives of audiovisual textualisation; regional aesthetics and filming techniques; and contemporary experimental ethnographic filmmaking.
