Essential reading for anyone analysing images, technologies and society, Doing Visual Ethnography is an engaging and thorough guide to ethnographic and visual research. Updated in tone, language and ...style, the fourth edition of this established text is vastly updated, with a new Chapter 8 on documentary, followed by a new chapter 9 on interventional visual ethnographies. Content on "visual futures", explaining ethnographic techniques such as 'ethnographies of the possible' and future-focused design anthropology workshops. An updated Chapter 5 on Video ethnography for investigating embodied and sensory experience, with new material on digital materiality and technologies such as the use of Go-Pros, drones and wearable cameras. Pink provides a foundation for thinking about visual ethnography while introducing the practical and theoretical issues relating to the visual and digital technologies used in the field. Her latest edition re-instates the title's status as a must-have for students and researchers across the social sciences who are interested in incorporating audiovisual media into their research practice.
The history of anthropology has been written from multiple viewpoints, often from perspectives of gender, nationality, theory, or politics.Before Boasdelves deeper into issues concerning ...anthropology's academic origins to present a groundbreaking study that reveals how ethnology and ethnography originated during the eighteenth rather than the nineteenth century, developing parallel to anthropology, or the "natural history of man."
Han F. Vermeulen explores primary and secondary sources from Russia, Germany, Austria, the United States, the Netherlands, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, and Great Britain in tracing how "ethnography" was begun as field research by German-speaking historians and naturalists in Siberia (Russia) during the 1730s and 1740s, was generalized as "ethnology" by scholars in Göttingen (Germany) and Vienna (Austria) during the 1770s and 1780s, and was subsequently adopted by researchers in other countries.
Before Boasargues that anthropology and ethnology were separate sciences during the Age of Reason, studying racial and ethnic diversity, respectively. Ethnography and ethnology focused not on "other" cultures but on all peoples of all eras. Following G. W. Leibniz, researchers in these fields categorized peoples primarily according to their languages. Franz Boas professionalized the holistic study of anthropology from the 1880s into the twentieth century.
This open access book explores the disciplinary, disciplined, and recent interdisciplinary sites and productions of ethnomusicology and queerness, arguing that both academic realms are founded upon a ...destructive masculinity—indissolubly linked to coloniality and epistemic hegemony—and marked by a monologic, ethnocentric silencing of embodied, same-sex desire. Ethnomusicology’s fetishization of masculinizing fieldwork; queerness’s functioning as Anglophone master category; and both domains’ devaluation of sensuality and experience, concomitant with an adherence to provincial, Western conceptions of knowledge production, are revealed as precluding the possibilities for equitable, dialogic pluriversality. Enlisting the sonic as theoretical intervention, the disciplined/disciplining ethno and queer are reimagined in relation to negative emotions and intractable affect, ultimately vanquished, and replaced by explorations of sound, sex/uality, and experiential somaticity within a protean, postdisciplinary space of material/epistemic equity. This uncompromising, long-overdue critique will be of interest to researchers and students from numerous theoretical backgrounds, including music, sound, gender, queer, and postcolonial/decolonial studies.
Wie verlaufen die Argumentationsmuster in Völkerkundemuseen und den Wissenschaften der Völkerkunde sowie der Anthropologie zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts? Das Buch versucht, dieser Frage an zwei ...Fallbeispielen nachzugehen, indem der theoretische Diskurs der Sammlungs-, Ausstellungs-, Lehr- und Forschungspraxis gegenübergestellt wird. Der identifizierte Wandel von einem »Kultur«- hin zu einem »Rasse«-Begriff sowie der Perspektivenwechsel von Objekten hin zu Körpern wird dabei in einem breiten kolonialen Kontext interpretiert - über ein tradiertes Epochenverständnis hinaus. Dadurch werden Kontinuitäten und Brüche präziser erkennbar als bislang üblich.

El siguiente trabajo nace del diálogo con la obra de Hans Vermeulen en relación a los orígenes de la antropología. Para este autor, el origen de la etnología, como una de las raíces de la ...antropología sociocultural, es producto de una disciplina que había alcanzado su madurez a finales del siglo XVIII, emergiendo a partir de los trabajos de campo realizados en Rusia y el norte de Asia, principalmente por eruditos de la universidad de Göttingen. La tesis propuesta por Vermeulen apunta a una revisión histórica sobre los orígenes de la antropología oponiéndose a la visión tradicional y más difundida, que hace nacer la disciplina hacia finales del siglo XIX con la conformación del paradigma evolucionista. El presente artículo hace un recorrido por este trabajo y presenta algunas notas críticas sobre los argumentos y conclusiones defendidas por el autor. Resalta también el valor de este tipo de reflexiones para tener una mayor comprensión de la disciplina antropológica como producto histórico y el reconocimiento de tradiciones disciplinares periféricas que muchas veces no son reconocidas en las tradiciones canónicas.
This multi-volume publication with an overall of 42 contributions investigates the position of ,,Völkerkunde" (socio-cultural anthropology) from Vienna during the Nazi era, in exile as well as inside ...the „Third Reich". Central attention is given to institutional and biographical networks and the history of ideas. The relevant academic spectrum not only includes "Völkerkunde"/ethnology (socio-cultural anthropology), but also comprises important neighboring fields ranging from physical anthropology to archaeological prehistory, folklore studies ("Volkskunde") as weil as to African and Japanese studies.
Diese mehrbändige Publikation mit insgesamt 42 Beiträgen widmet sich der Stellung der Völkerkunde aus Wien während der NS-Zeit, im Exil und im „Dritten Reich". Im Fokus stehen institutionelle und biographische Netzwerke sowie ideengeschichtliche Aspekte. Das Spektrum umfasst dabei nicht nur die zentrale Völkerkunde/ Ethnologie, sondern auch wichtige Nachbarfächer von physischer Anthropologie über Ur-und Frühgeschichte bis hin zu Volkskunde, Afrikanistik und Japanologie.
From Oaxacan wood carvings to dessert kitchens in provincial France, Critical Craft presents thirteen ethnographies which examine what defines and makes 'craft' in a wide variety of practices from ...around the world.
Der Begriff der kulturellen Diversität ist umstritten – besonders, wenn es um die Zukunft von Institutionen geht. Führen Diversitäts-Politiken zu einem höheren Maß gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe ...unterrepräsentierter Gruppen? Oder ist »kulturelle Vielfalt« nur ein beschwichtigendes Etikett, das die sozialen Ungleichheiten in Institutionen eher verschleiert als benennt? Dieser Band beleuchtet die affektiven Dynamiken kultureller Diversifizierung in zentralen institutionellen Feldern wie Gesundheit, Bildung, Medien und Kultur. Er zeigt, dass es bei kultureller Diversifizierung nicht nur um die Reform von Institutionen, sondern um eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Neuorientierung in einer stark polarisierten Öffentlichkeit geht. Dieses radikale Potenzial wird nur selten realisiert, aber es erklärt die affektive Aufladung der Kämpfe um Diversität, der dieser Band nachgeht. CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
