The Ethnographer's Eye by Anna Grimshaw, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Grimshaw sets a new agenda for visual anthropology, attempting to transcend the old division between image and text-based ethnography. She argues for the use of vision as a critical tool with which anthropologists can address issues of knowledge and technique. The first part of the book critically examines anthropology's history, focusing on the work of key individuals-Rivers, Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown-in the context of early modern art and cinema. In the book's second part, Grimshaw considers the anthropological films of Jean Rouch, David and Judith MacDougall and Melissa Llewelyn-Davies. | The Ethnographer's Eye by Anna Grimshaw, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
