Visual Anthropology of Indian Films: Religious Communities and Cultural Traditions in Bollywood and Beyond (Routledge, 2024) provides a unique insider's look at the world's largest film industry, now globally known as ‘Bollywood' and challenges existing notions about Indian films. Indian films have been a worldwide phenomenon for decades. Chapters in this edited volume take a fresh view of various hidden gems by maestros such as Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, V. Shantaram, Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen, Shakti Samant, Rishikesh Mukherjee, and others. Other chapters provide a pioneering review and analysis of the portrayal of Indian religious communities such as Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and Parsis. The themes covered include unique Indian feminism and male chauvinism, environment and climate issues, international locations and diaspora tourism, religious harmony and conflict, the India-Pakistan relationship, asceticism, and renunciation in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. Unlike many recent studies of Indian films, these chapters do not distinguish between popular and serious cinema. Many chapters focus on Hindi films, but others bring insights from films made in other parts of India and its neighbouring countries.

The photographers I am exposed to by doing this show never cease to amaze me. Recently, my buddy Ian Spanier told a friend of his that he should be on the show, and gave him my contact info. At that point, Jason Gardner reached out to me, and when Ian, who has been on the show a few times himself, suggests someone I need to pay attention. Jason is an interesting photographer. He has galleries on his site for Editorial, Events, Personalities, and Lifestyle, and the work is fantastic. Honestly, there were a few of his lifestyle images I really wanted to cover on the show, and hopefully we get to revisit that subject one day. For this show though we look at a project Jason has been working on for years, a lot of years. For over 15 years, throughout 15 countries, Jason has documented the ritual and festival of Carnival, focusing on traditional, folkloric, and community celebrations. The resulting images, which are the subject of his second book, We the Spirits, and a window into how humanity, worldwide, celebrate life, tradition, and folklore. Photographs from We the Spirits were displayed in the exhibition Costume and Masquerade: at the Stadhaus in Ulm, Germany, and the project was selected to be exhibited at the Mois de la Photo OFF Photography festival in Paris, and that's just two of the many exhibitions that Jason's work has been displayed at, and in fact the images from We the Spirits will be on display again for an exhibition at Ted and Nune Studio, Street Hastings-on-Hudson, NY from April 6 - May 19. With a client list that includes Con Edison, HBO, TED Talks, Dassault Systèmes, Electrolux, Grand Central Station, Samsung Corporation, N-Y Historical Society, Freshworks, Ogilvy & Mather, Direct TV, Pfizer, Big Brothers Big Sisters NY, and Human Rights Watch, it's no wonder Jason has seen the success he has. Seriously, go check out his Lifestyle / Editorial work, or his Personalities gallery. So good. Getting back to that term "Visual Anthropology", Jason describes it this way: "In my practice, I document visually various aspects of a culture, and how it is celebrated, both venerating traditions and looking forward. I am interested in what constitutes cultures and most especially how they are celebrated, from honoring traditions to envisaging the future. By focusing on cultural manifestations such as music, dance, festival, and spectacle, as well as symbols, street art, glyphs, costumes, or shrines in a closet, I capture the intangible, visually translating the symbolic connections of what might not be visible at first glance. Placing my photographic practice within the framework of Visual Anthropology, I hope to tell stories by focusing on cultures, traditions and practices which often happen behind the public's view. I capture things that build up to define the cultural milieu and community's regional identities. I look for that ineffable moment of transformation in a ceremony, the traditional song or costume epitomizing regional pride and identity, a symbol representing a culture, these all combine to reflect the culture. I wish to reveal some of the diversity of the spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional landscape of a community. Making the connections among the various manifestations, to show their relationship with each other, and how they interlock, helps to form my view of the culture I am documenting. These displays of culture are significant, to me, in that they represent one of the more profound ways that humans can express themselves." And I think all of that comes through in his work. Join documentary photographer Jason Gardner and me as we talk about his "Visual Anthropology", and as we dissect one of the images from his travels documenting the ritual and festival of Carnival throughout 15 countries, on this Behind the Shot.

Eine schrill pinke Puppenhaus-Komödie als aberwitziges Milliardengeschäft und Popkultur-Dampfwalze: In Regisseurin Greta Gerwigs gleichnamigem, Rekorde aller Art brechenden Kinofilm spaziert die berühmteste Spielzeugpuppe der Welt, Barbie – die schon ein Girlboss war, als dieser Begriff noch nicht erdacht war – hinaus aus den Kinderzimmern und deren imaginärem Barbieland und hinein in eine echte Welt, in der ihr seit Jahrzehnten von feministischen Fangirls der rosarote Teppich ausgerollt wird. Oder irrt sich Barbie (Margot Robbie) da etwa – und Spielzeughersteller Mattels gertenschlanke Plastik-Ikone steht heute gar nicht mehr für die Befreiung der modernen Frau? Mit ordentlich Selbstironie und knallbunten Sets wurde Barbie zum populärsten Film des Jahres, zum Marketing-Phänomen, zu einem der selten gewordenen Kinofilme, die man einfach gesehen haben muss, um mitreden zu können. Aber was hat Barbie denn bloß mit der biblischen Sündenfallgeschichte, mit Adam und Evas Vertreibung aus dem Paradies zu tun? Alissa Wilkinson, Senior Culture Writer & Critic bei „Vox“, Dozentin am King‘s College in New York City und Sachbuchautorin („How to Survive the Apocalypse: Zombies, Cylons, Faith, and Politics at the End of the World“) erklärt uns die erstaunlichen Querverweise von Gerwigs ultimativem Kassenschlager auf eine der einflussreichsten Urerzählungen der Zivilisation überhaupt. Es geht aber natürlich ebenso um Feminismus, amerikanischen Turbokapitalismus – und ein ganz kleines bisschen auch um Ken. Danach unterhalten wir uns mit unserer Sprachkursleiterin für Erwachsene Ashley Matthäus, die ihren Master in Visual Anthropology gemacht hat, unseren Filmemacher-Club „Schurz Shorts“ leitet und einen „Next Cohen Brothers' Award“ gewann, über ihre Sicht auf Barbie als cinephile Amerikanerin. Shownotes: "In the beginning, there was Barbie" von Alissa Wilkinson.

Ishi, a native American man who was widely acclaimed as the “last wild Indian” emerged from the wilderness on 29th August, 1911. His arrival came as a huge surprise to the people of Oroville, California, who had thought that his entire tribe had become extinct a good 40 years earlier. He was immediately taken to a jail cell and locked up, not because he had committed a crime but because authorities simply had no idea what to do with him. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explore the relationship between Ishi and the anthropologists that took him in; discuss why he preferred to be photographed in a suit and tie rather than Native American dress; and speculate on what Ishi must have made of the vaudeville shows his handlers took him to see…   Further Reading: ‘The Story Of Ishi, The ‘Last' Native American' (All That's Interesting, 2018): https://allthatsinteresting.com/ishi-last-native-american  ‘America honours its debt to Ishi, last of the Yahis' (The Guardian, 2000): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/aug/10/duncancampbell  ‘A Man Called Ishi' (Advanced Laboratory for Visual Anthropology at CSU, Chico, 2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEmqOCta3NU  #US #1910s #Indigenous Love the show?

El libro de Alexander Fattal es un excelente ejemplo de la antropología comprometida con las comunidades. Una antropología que no se queda en la mera extracción de datos sobre una comunidad o población, sino que busca dejar algo a esa comunidad y a las personas que la componen. Fattal es profesor asistente del Departamento de Comunicación de la Universidad de California en San Diego y artista documental. Fundador del proyecto Disparando Cámaras para la paz y de la ONG del mismo nombre, así como del proyecto AjA, una ONG sin ánimo de lucro dedicada a empoderar juventudes históricamente en desventaja de San Diego y la Región de Tijuana. “Disparando Cámaras para la paz. Juventud, fotografía y el conflicto armado colombiano”, editado y publicado en 2019 por la Peabody Musseum Press, una editorial asociada a la Editorial de la Universidad de Hardvard, visibiliza las problemáticas de una comunidad urbana compuesta por población vulnerable en las periferias de Bogotá, Colombia. Lo especial aquí es que la exposición de tales problemáticas las conocemos a través de la autorrepresentación fotográfica de niños, niñas y jóvenes de la misma comunidad. El libro hace un recorrido fotográfico de esas imágenes tomadas por las juventudes del barrio el Progreso en el contexto colombiano de violencia y desigualdades de los primeros años del siglo XXI. El libro ha sido destacado con varios reconocimientos y premios. Entre ellos están: el premio John Collier Jr. de la Society for Visual Anthropology (2021), la mención honorifica en el premio a Mejor Libro en Estudios Visuales y Culturales de América Latina entregado por LASA (Latin American Studies Association) (2022), y una la medalla de bronce en el premio otorgado por la Independent Publisher Book.

E quando questo accade, sperimentiamo sulla nostra pelle (d'oca) che non esiste cosa più umana che arrossire.

Anna Castelli, Franco La Cecla"Scambiarsi le arti"Arte & AntropologiaPrefazione di Michael TaussigBompianihttps://www.bompiani.it/Negli ultimi decenni l'incontro tra arte e antropologia è diventato sempre più intenso e i due campi si sono ritrovati a condividere metodi e pratiche. L'antropologia ha interrogato l'arte rispetto alle forze creative presenti in culture diverse dalla nostra e l'arte è rimasta impigliata nel metodo di ricerca, spesso si è trasformata nella ricerca stessa come forma d'arte. Questo incontro, lontano dall'essere solo una curiosità reciproca, ha contribuito a rivoluzionare pratiche che sembravano scontate: il museo anzitutto – messo in discussione radicalmente come un'eccezione occidentale – le collezioni, le classificazioni, il ruolo del pubblico. Una storica dell'arte e un antropologo ci raccontano questo sconvolgimento come una storia ricca di personaggi – artisti diventati antropologi e antropologi che si sono fatti artisti – oggetti, aneddoti, biografie, testi, dando vita a un saggio corale dove arte e antropologia scoprono di essere mosse dalla stessa urgenza.Anna Castelli, storica dell'arte, insegna Arte e Antropologia allo IULM di Milano. Svolge attività di ricerca sulle convergenze tra antropologia culturale e pratiche artistiche contemporanee. Ha ricevuto la borsa di studio della Fondazione Ada Ceschin e Rosanna Pilone di Zurigo, collabora con il MUSEC di Lugano. Ha coordinato workshop e residenze per artisti contemporanei. Ha curato e tradotto In India di Gary Snyder (Milieu, 2019) e Risonanze, al di là delle parole di Unni Wikan (Milieu, 2022).

Technecast is hosting the Invitations Series: four conversations by Judah Attille, Therese Henningsen, Mark Aerial Waller and Astrid Korporaal. Each episode is based on a research encounter with a creative practitioner connected to the field of sound & moving image. Together, the episodes question the relationships between audience, screen, maker & subject. This final episode features Therese Henningsen and Juliette Joffé, reflecting on the ongoing curatorial project Strangers Within and the notion of 'documentary as encounter' in their own films Next Year We Will Leave (2021) and Slow Delay (2018). The two films will be publicly shown for the Strangers Within anthology launch and film programme at Whitechapel Gallery in June 2022 in collaboration with Prototype. Contributors to the Strangers Within anthology and film programme are: Khalik Allah, Ruth Beckermann, Jon Bang Carlsen, Adam Christensen, Annie Ernaux, Gareth Evans, Xiaolu Guo, Therese Henningsen, Marc Isaacs, Juliette Joffé, David MacDougall, Laura Rascaroli, Bruno de Wachter, Yuya Yokota, Andrea Luka Zimmerman Strangers Within addresses convergences between encounter, hospitality and autobiography in documentary filmmaking. It engages with the risks of encounter, unsettling assumed distinctions between host and guest; stranger and friend; self and other; documentarian and protagonist. By challenging commonly held assumptions around the division between director and subject in the documentary encounter, it unsettles the filmmaker's presumed control over those she films. By staying with the difficulty of such encounters the camera can keep us open to risks that may otherwise be avoided or ignored: seeing oneself in strangers or becoming a stranger to oneself.

Dr Maria Vivod is an Ethnologist and anthropologist from Serbia, with an interest in Visual Anthropology. Today we discuss the subject of one of her short documentary films and accompanying paper “The Fairy Seers of Eastern Serbia” The fairy-seers of Southeastern Europe are usually women who fall into trance through dancing on special days in a year and are able to communicate with women-like creatures from the supernatural world. During the process of communication with the fairies the fairy-seers can prophesy future events. The fairy-seers also bring messages to the living from the behalf of their deceased relatives. Similarly, they can give advice about how to heal an ill individual or they can proceed to the treatment of the ill individual after consulting the fairies. These illnesses are usually a form of a fairy-illness – a disorder which has its origins in a curse or a spell of the human-offended fairies. The subject of the film we discuss is Ivanka, she is a Vlach woman from eastern Serbia. She sees her ‘sisters' since her early twenties and is able to communicate with them on three exact days of the Christian orthodox calendar: Epiphany, Palm Sunday, St.Peter's Day. This trance was Ivanka's last. You can find a link to the film in the show notes. In the Patreon Plus show we discuss Dr Vivod's own remarkable consultation with the Fairy Seer and the funeral rites of the Vlach people and the views of the relationship with spirits of the dead. Dr Vivod explains the process of curse removal through a process called ‘melting fear' and an extraordinary rite called a ‘Black Wedding' wherein the young who have passed before their time are symbolically married so they can wed on the other side.

And to kick things off, we invited Milton Guillén, a programmer from the Camden International Film Festival, to take us through the 17th edition of the festival lineup, featuring over 70 documentary films (features and shorts). In this episode, Milton provides a peek into how the program came together and adds texture to some of the films in the different sections. This year, the festival will take place both physically (September 16 - 19th) as well as virtually. An online edition of the program will be available to stream for North American audiences from September 16 - 26th. It's a truly excellent curation of films and for folks who are unable to attend in person, please do consider streaming via their online platform as it is a wonderful way to support a festival that has long had a tremendous impact on advancing the documentary film genre.FILMS DISCUSSED INCLUDE:SPIRITS AND ROCKS AN AZOREAN MYTH by Aylin GökmenMOTORCYCLIST'S HAPPINESS WON'T FIT INTO HIS SUIT by Gabriel HerreraDATURA'S AUBADE by Jean-Jacques Martinod and Bretta C.

In this episode of the Anthro to UX podcast, Jay Hasbrouck speaks with Matt Artz about his UX journey, visual anthropology, and how ethnographic thinking can contribute to strategy and new product development. Jay earned a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Southern California, works as a Pathfinder for Facebook, and is the author of Ethnographic Thinking: From Method to Mindset.About Jay HasbrouckJay Hasbrouck has over 15 years of experience working as an anthropologist in industry settings, including both in-house roles and consulting. He currently works as a Pathfinder on the New Product Experimentation team at Facebook. Previously Jay was a partner at Ethnoworks, the founder of Filament Insights & Innovation, a senior human factors specialist at IDEO, and a research scientist at Intel. Jay is also the author of Ethnographic Thinking: From Method to Mindset.About Ethnographic Thinking: From Method to MindsetThe book argues that ‘ethnographic thinking'―the thought processes and patterns ethnographers develop through their practice―offers companies and organizations the cultural insights they need to develop fully-informed strategies. Using real-world examples, Hasbrouck demonstrates how shifting the value of ethnography from simply identifying consumer needs to driving a more holistic understanding of a company or organization can help it benefit from a deeper understanding of the dynamic and interactive cultural contexts of its offerings. In doing so, he argues that such an approach can also enhance the strategic value of their work by helping them increase appreciation for openness and exploration, hone interpretive skills, and cultivate holistic thinking, in order to broaden perspectives, challenge assumptions, and cross-pollinate ideas between differing viewpoints.Recommended LinksJay Hasbrouck on LinkedInJay Hasbrouck's Personal WebsiteJay Hasbrouchk's Blog - The Ethnographic MindEthnographic Thinking: From Method to Mindset on AmazonEPIC 2021About Anthro to UXThe Anthro to UX podcast is for anthropologists looking to break into user experience (UX) research.

Karen Boswall is a filmmaker, ethnomusicologist, and visual anthropologist. Her audio-visual output includes individually authored and collaborative productions carried out in Nicaragua (1984), the United Kingdom (1986), Iraq (1993), Cuba (1995), Mozambique (1997-2018), Jordan (2014), Nepal (2016), and Brazil (2019).Between 1990 and 2007, she lived and worked in Mozambique as a musician, journalist, and documentary filmmaker. Her award-winning films and radio documentaries produced in this context explore the spiritual, cultural, and environmental worlds of individuals and communities through their music and dance practices. Boswall has taught Visual Anthropology and Film and Television at the University of Kent (2008–2009), Canterbury Christ Church University (2010–2014), Manchester Metropolitan University (2015-2016), and the University of Sussex (2017-2019). She conducted her doctoral research on collaborative music research and film production in Mozambique, and she continues to use collaborative and decolonial audio-visual methodologies to support those working to improve their access to basic human rights in Mozambique, especially women and girls. We are delighted to have Karen speaking to her experience as a filmmaker and artist documenting the world from an anthropological perspective. We are curious to know how Karen deals with the complex question of representation of the individuals and communities whose lives her films bring to a two dimensional form. How does she approach her own positionality? And what place does theory take in her visual work? Karen reflects on the way she engages the communities she works with and on her approach to co-create and enable groups to have a direct voice. How to distinguish between authorship and facilitation? At the end, we ask Karen to give advice to those who might be considering visual anthropology as a career path and to tell our listeners about her own success drivers that accompanied her throughout her interesting journey. Mentioned in Podcast:MacDougall, David (2019). The Looking Machine: Essays on Cinema, Anthropology and Documentary Filmmaking. Manchester University Press.Social media:Website : https://www.karenboswall.com/

You'll hear us refer a couple of times to a previous conversation, which is a live version of the interview that was never recorded due to some technical issues at the venue. What's so exciting about this sequel to that first meeting, in addition to their generosity for coming back to record with me, is that we got to plunge fathoms deeper into the topic. It's a long one: but if you're like me and still deciding how to make sense of immersion and virtual media, spacial computing, and whether this will someday come together to the benefit of learners like us, then you should stick around for the full conversation. It might surprise you.

In his new book Drawn to See: Drawing as an Ethnographic Method (University of Toronto Press, 2016) Andrew Causey argues that social science practitioners can cultivate new ways of experiencing the world through drawing. He has developed thirty-nine “etudes,” drawing exercises that challenge the reader to become a more rigorous observer and to transform their relationship with both visual media and academia. These etudes have been tried and tested over many years in his class, Visual Anthropology, at Columbia College – Chicago. With exciting interdisciplinary possibilities, this is book expands the toolbox available to ethnographers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
