Imagistic Care explores ethnographically how images
function in our concepts, our writing, our fieldwork, and our
lives. With contributions from anthropologists, philosophers and an
artist, the ...volume asks: How can imagistic inquiries help us
understand the complex entanglements of self and other, dependence
and independency, frailty and charisma, notions of good and bad
aging, and norms and practices of care in old age? And how can
imagistic inquiries offer grounds for critique? Cutting between
ethnography, phenomenology and art, this volume offers a powerful
contribution to understandings of growing old. The images created
in words and drawings are used to complicate rather than simplify
the world. The contributors advance an understanding of care, and
of aging itself, marked by alterity, spectral presences and
uncertainty. Contributors : Rasmus Dyring,

ABSTRACT
This article introduces the “multiply produced film” as a methodology and analytic that highlights the asymmetrical dynamics inherent to collaboration. I draw on (auto)ethnographic material ...from the making of Get By (2014), a film on worker‐community solidarity, to explore collaboration across race, class, and gender in subject matter and method. I situate the multiply produced film within a genealogy that grafts ontological insights from the anthropology of exchange onto the epistemological contributions of feminist, decolonial, and visual anthropologists committed to collaboration. I argue that as a method, collaborative filmmaking has the potential to challenge narrow Western conceptions of autonomy and authorship through shared authority and fluid roles that engender a cascading multivocality that shapes the resulting filmic form. As an analytic, the multiply produced film reveals how collaboration entails a fundamental tension between the gift‐like exchanges of solidarity and the outwardly commoditized form (e.g., films, books) produced by such exchanges, raising questions about asymmetries of power, prestige, and accountability.
Este artigo analisa o cinema de Adirley Queirós tomando seu primeiro longa metragem, A cidade é uma só? (2013), como fio condutor da interpretação. Seu cinema, situado entre Brasília e Ceilândia, ...sitia lugares e espaços naturalizados, dessubstancializa conceitos como os de localidade, periferia, identidade, memória, finitude, história, arquitetura, ficção, documentário. Seu cinema evoca diálogos fecundos através de figurações da alteridade, da distopia, da entropia em cenários urbanos posmetropolis, em que se percebe a insurgência das cidades satélites enquanto lócus de contestação e crítica a projetos, tão redentores quanto autoritários, como os propostos pela ideologia modernista que planeja e institui Brasília, nos anos 1950 e 1960, no Brasil central.
This article analyzes the cinema of Adirley Queirós taking his first feature film ‘Is the City Only One’? (2013) as a starting point. His cinema, located halfway between Brasília and Ceilândia, contests naturalized places and spaces, de-substantializing concepts such as those of locality, periphery, identity, memory, history, architecture, fiction, and documentary. His cinema produces fruitful dialogues through the use of figures of alterity, dystopia, and entropy in post-metropolitan urban scenarios, where the insurgency of satellite cities becomes a locus of contestation and criticism of mega-projects, as redemptive as they are authoritarian, such as the modernist ideology materialized in the planning and building of the capital Brasília, in the 1950s and 1960s, in central Brazil.
Este texto presenta algunas reflexiones alrededor de la incorporación de prácticas cinematográficas en la investigación antropológica desarrolladas desde el proyecto TRANSGANG, cuyo objetivo es ...estudiar las bandas juveniles como agentes de mediación en doce ciudades en el sur de Europa, Norte etc. el norte de África y América. El proyecto incluye talleres de antropología visual en los que participarán jóvenes de algunas de estas ciudades, así como la elaboración de tres películas documentales sobre las bandas vistas desde dentro, a cargo de tres realizadores seleccionados tras un concurso público internacional. Aunque el cine y la antropología compartan una larga historia de fascinaciones e intercambios recíprocos, ha habido frecuentes tensiones en la relación entre ambos. En el texto exponemos cómo, desde nuestra investigación, intentamos construir una colaboración paritaria entre las dos disciplinas a través del trabajo de campo. Creemos en el potencial cognoscitivo del intercambio entre cine y etnografía, que pueden contaminarse y enriquecerse recíprocamente para producir (y transmitir) un conocimiento más complejo de las realidades que estudiamos. También nos referiremos a los dilemas burocráticos, académicos y éticos que comporta la producción audiovisual y su contribución a la generación de conocimiento sobre los grupos sociales subalternos.
This article critiques the prevailing future-oriented collective visions often used in energy research, emphasizing the need for ethnographic examination of individual interpretations and responses ...to energy transitions. It explores how individuals coexist with evolving energy landscapes, particularly in rural areas. Despite recommendations for qualitative research on energy aesthetics, there is a gap in understanding of the experiential, visual elements of energy transitions. Studies predominantly prioritize quantifiable preferences over subjective experiences. Drawing a distinction between aesthetics and visuality, it delves into the subjective experience of visual interactions with energy infrastructure. Grounded in empirical data gathered over a year in the Orkney Islands, it utilizes participatory photography and photo-elicitation to capture local perspectives. This offers an alternative approach to researching energy transitions in rural landscapes. The findings emphasise the complexities of living with localised energy development at an individual level, highlighting dilemmas, challenges, and opportunities. Integrating individual visual perspectives into future planning remains a challenge, yet individuals often develop unique strategies to coexist with energy infrastructure in rapidly changing landscapes. Engaging with local stakeholders through (visual) ethnographic research can reveal diverse perspectives, contributing to the understanding of the impact of energy transitions in rural communities such as the Orkney Islands.
TWO-VOLUME SET Viewing the Strait of Dover through the lens of photography theory. Imagine a world in which each individual has a fundamental right to be reborn. This idle dream haunts Hilde Van ...Gelder’s associative travelogue that takes Allan Sekula’s sequence Deep Six / Passer au bleu (1996/1998) as a touchstone for a dialogue with more recent artworks zooming in on the borderscape near the Channel Tunnel, such as those by Sylvain George and Bruno Serralongue. Combining ethnography, visual materials, political philosophy, cultural geography, and critical analysis, Ground Sea proceeds through an innovative methodological approach. Inspired by the meandering writings of W.G. Sebald, Javier Marías, and Roland Barthes, Van Gelder develops a style both interdisciplinary and personal. Resolutely opting for an aquatic perspective, Ground Sea offers a powerful meditation on the indifference of an increasingly divided European Union with regard to considerable numbers of persons on the move, who find themselves stranded close to Calais. The contested Strait of Dover becomes a microcosm where our present global challenges of migration, climate change, human rights, and neoliberal surveillance technology converge.

"The book is about those who are stranded close to the sea but at the same time about all of us, who will have to accept that learning to sail or float on water will increasingly be our fate if we do not succeed to work together to contain the rise in sea levels.", Hilde Van Gelder
In 2015, a corpus of 70 photographs registered between 1922 and 1932 by the Josephites of Murialdo was found in the Ecuadorian Library Aurelio Espinosa Polit (BEAEP), in the city of Quito. From the ...analysis of this corpus, a proposal was made to understand the configuration of the processes of visual representation and subjectivation of the Napo Runa Amazon Indians framed in that historical past, as well as in the ethnographic present. The article proposes two objectives: the first, to analyze the historical context of production of the photographic corpus. And the second, to investigate how the processes of visual representation and subjectivation are currently reinterpreted by the Association of Kichwa Midwives of the Upper Napo (AMUPAKIN).

A partir del análisis de este corpus se propuso entender la configuración de los procesos de representación visual y subjetivación de los indígenas amazónicos Napo Runa enmarcados en ese pasado histórico, y también en el presente etnográfico. El artículo plantea dos objetivos: el primero, analizar el contexto histórico de producción del corpus fotográfico. Y el segundo, indagar sobre cómo los procesos de representación visual y subjetivación son reinterpretados en la actualidad por la Asociación de Mujeres Parteras Kichwas del Alto Napo (AMUPAKIN).
