Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis study proposes to retrace the history of the Ethnographic Film Committee (CFE) whose foundations were established in Paris in 1947 during the First Congress of Ethnological Film and Human Geography. The political and aesthetic issues of this institution, officially created in 1952, will be analyzed through the examination of archival documents relating to film catalogues, the making of films and their reception, reports of debates and screenings at seminars and international festivals organized by its members from 1955 to 1962. By offering a historiographical overview of the different meanings of the concept of visual anthropology, we will examine to what extent the CFE is a pioneer in this field based on the films it produced and programmed during this period. While Jean Rouch is the main driving force, he is not the only craftsman. This study therefore aims to re-inscribe his films in the overall production from 1930 to 1962 by shedding light on lesser-known ethnographic films, notably those of Luc de Heusch, who invented the concept of the participatory camera as a means of revealing the heuristic powers of the medium while ethically counteracting the stereotypes of “exotic” travel films and colonial propaganda. The CFE was thus at the forefront of a visual culture promoting the search for an alliance between ethnographers and filmmakers to create a new form of sharing the sensible between the filmmaker and the filmed, contributing at the same time to shifting the lines of the epistemological foundations of the ethnographic discipline as well as those of the uses of the film medium

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleDrawing upon theories from folkloristics, history, and audience studies, this thesis analyzes historical films, their reception, and the importance of history and film in everyday life. Using an interdisciplinary approach, I demonstrate how a folkloric perspective may contribute to and strengthen the study ofhistorical films by emphasizing the attributes of narrative and belief at the vernacular level of reception. With an ethnographic and qualitative focus on the informal, common, and everyday film viewing habits of specific individuals in relation to historical belief, this project provides empirical evidence that is necessary for a more accurate understanding of the function and reception of historical films. This study also re-examines the formal aspects of historical films in relation to historical re-construction, the definition and categorization of such films, their reception, their function beyond entertainment, and the need for an integration of new research in both audience studies and folklore studies.

This thesis consists of a text and a videotape, entitled Pull Ourselves Up or Die Out. The written thesis is an examination of the tradition of documentary film making with particular reference to notions of Realism, particularly as revealed in the ethnographic films made by John Marshall. The Marshall material spans a period from 1951 to the present day and relates the changes that the !Kung Bushman of Namibia have been forced to undergo. The material is unique and this thesis elaborates on the conditions and influences that have determined the film maker's strongly personal approach. The videotape that accompanies this thesis is 3/4 inch U-Matic, 25 minutes long, color, sound and. in English, Afrikaans and Ju/Wasi languages.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn Rio de Janeiro State, there are one hundred and eight groups of women who produce medicines with herbs. Since 2000, they are organized in a network called Rede Fitovida to transmit their knowledge and debate how to deal with their common difficulties. Its a social movement without party or religion affiliation composed by old women from popular layers that get together at kitchens of communitarian centers. None of them receive money or any other kind of payment for their work. Their activity is volunteer and non- profitableThe objective of this ethnography is to analyze cultural aspects of a group that belongs to this network, such as healing practices and knowledge transmission. Through an anthropological methodology and audiovisual documentation which allows a more careful look on the social phenomena this research aims to understand who are those women, what they do and why. As part of a network of exchanges, besides taking care of their health and of their neighborhoods, these women create a social movement that demands the recognition for their traditional knowledge by the State. They also change their own perception of individuals in aging process, overcoming the negative elderly stigmas

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis research has as its main object of study the repertoires of action and mobilization used in and around the Occupation of the City Council of Porto Alegre (10-18 July 2013). From the ethnographic experience and militant engagement in the Fight Block for Public Transportation, we seek to understand what this Block was organized like, and what values are the ones that guided this organization. Meanwhile, we focused on the subjects responsible for these practices and means, trying to identify social networks that link them and their life trajectories. Meetings, acts, commissions, occupations, social networks and cine-debates served to analyze disputes within the Fight Block and about the Occupation of the City Council of Porto Alegre. It is prioritized the ethnographic research and dialogue with other authors who think government practices and senses of policies in these times and spaces. Finally, it identifies the strategic divergences as the main problem of the Block, the occupations as a form of full collective action and the potential of public anthropology and authory layers.

“God’s craftsmen” is a documentary about Beiguan instruments. Craftmen who make Beiguan instruments are called God’s Craftsmen. The “Beiguan” culture roots China, it was introduced into Taiwan by Chinese immigrants in 17c.. It has prevalently immersed into Taiwan social society and influenced its culture, which includes Hakka Bayin Music and the backcourt music of Taiwan Glove Puppet, String Puppet Show, Taiwanese Opera and Taoist Rituals. One could hear the Beiguan music during the religious ceremonies and traditional festivals everywhere in Taiwan. Being one of the most developed traditional music in Taiwan, Beiguan has diverse species and spreads widely in Taiwan. With 200-year history, Beiguan was the pop music and background music of Taiwan in the early age. For ancestors, “Beiguan” play the important role in thanksgiving and entertainment. Combined with the pilgrimage activities or military dramas, the bright sound of Gong, Drum, Cymbals and Suona draw attentions of the people around the villages to the shows in the early age. Therefore, the craftsmen of the Beiguan instruments play important roles since they could influments the timbre and pitch of Beiguan instruments. However, there are rarely related books and videos introducing the production of Beiguan instruments, expect a few academic papers and the documentary series “Legacy” made by Chinese Public Television. The musical instrument was given the mission of cultural heritage, they should be valued. Therefore, I use “God’s craftsman” as the theme for this study. I made a documentary, recording the manufacture of Beiguan instruments, the interviews of Beiguan masters (including Wen-Chang Hsu, “Baying King” Jian-Cheng Chen, “Xian Jen Ho” Shi-Qun Wong, and “LingWu gong” Lie-Chi Lin) and the pilgrimage activities of “Li Chuen Yuan“, “Dalongdong Bao'an Temple”, “Jilong Mid-summer Ghost Festival”, and “Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple”. The documentary helps people understand the current situations of manufacture of traditional music instruments and the occasions where the Beiguan music is applied.

In 1995, it is the first time that “production committee” system has been used in Japan to produce video products. Japanese film has its own “production committee” system which members drawn from major press, manufacturers of video game or toy, television stations, issuer, banks and so on. Members as well as donors to provide their professional assistance for a movie script, casting, scene selection, publish, promotion, and listing of related products in advance market planning. The research findings are as follows: 1. It becomes a key factor for developing Japanese culture industry continually when civilian industry provided many kinds of assistance besides government’s policy. 2. Although the primary goal of production committee is to produce commercial films with investment recovery; however, it also becomes a direction of fundraising to cover the high production capital. 3. At present, each Asian country’s film has its own characteristic that creates the absolute advantage for Taiwanese film industry. Japanese film industry as a model for Asian countries, it shows that the foreign film is not only choice.

My thesis is a focused report on four aboriginal youths'' ethnic identities, which will involve interviewing them at-length on their personal history, understanding the process of identity-shaping, as well as how they face ethnic-selves at every life stages. I have furthermore videotaped the subject and present it in an ethnographic film. What is "Aborigine"? What''s the deep meaning when a person declares that s/he is an aborigine and how dose s/he identify this self in social relations and social interaction? In the past, many scholars used stage theory to explain ethnic identity formation, but it''s too simple and typical a way to understand one''s life experiences about ethnic identity. Thus, in this thesis I use constructivist narrative approach combined with life history interviews to substitute for stage theory. By this way, I focused on my reporters'' life experiences, seeing how they are being, doing, and knowing" aborigine ". Furthermore, paying close attention to issues of "academic study" and "feedback", I took a shot at videotaping, which conveys emotional experiences and become another way to realize our world. Besides, visual record is easier to understand than written report, so that it may create more possibilities for all participators in this study and audience to discuss and share opinions with each other. In this study, I analyzed four reporters'' personal narratives in order to understand how a person constructs ethnic identity and memories through daily life practices in the public and private field. Ethnic identity is so complicated and undergoes constant transformation that we can not clearly understand one''s identity just by saying--"I am Aborigine". From reporters'' experiences we find that people take different strategies in different moment to face their ethnic selves, and that dichotomies will twist their real experiences. Moreover, ethnic identity is being constructed by internal-external dialectic, and social dynamics such as gender, class and age will affect it. Finally, the important transitions of life may be the key point to change ethnic identity, because every transition means an important selection and decision, we can realize how people deal with these experiences and events, and learn to interpret it as empathetically as possible.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn 2003 I made a documentary film called Karoo Kitaar Blues with South African songwriter and guitarist, David Kramer, on the rare musicians, music, and instruments of scattered coloured communities in the Northern Cape. When I set out, seven years ago, to make the film I had no intention of making an ethnographic film or producing a visual ethnography in the anthropological sense (I am a documentary filmmaker), but two academic reviews, critical of its lack of ‘ethnographic context’ caught my intention. This dissertation attempts to respond to their critique. I explore the territory of visual anthropology and ethnographic methodology in order to understand why my film, with hindsight, is and is not ‘ethnographic’, and to establish how ethnographic practice could enhance my work as a filmmaker. I use Karoo Kitaar Blues as my visual monograph and examine the differences between ethnographic film and documentary (in the observational mode) with reference to ethnographic methodologies and theory in ethnomusicology, and consider how film can be used ‘as’ ethnography or ‘in’ ethnography. I conclude that Karoo Kitaar Blues film lies somewhere between ethnographic and observational filmmaking.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis research aimed to investigate and learn with underwater divers from the Marine Extractive Reserve of Corumbau, located in the Banco de Abrolhos, (Bahia-Brazil); on the practices and transformations of underwater hunting, given the challenges posed by global warming, climate change and environmental disasters that occurred in 2019; namely coral bleaching (Duarte, et al., 2020), and the mysterious spill of crude oil into the environment (Soares, et al., 2020). The filmic component of this work, in addition to being a fundamental tool in the construction of the narrative, intends to communicate about a barely visible reality: the underwater world in its life interactions, observed under the waterline. I call this social mesh that exists between the human and non-human elements the “Coral System”. Thus, coral reefs and the social relationships established between species, become the guiding principle of this approach, aiming to clarify the social interactions of the mesh in their effective ties of support, disturbance, and sustainability. From the ethnographic method, I propose the use of images as a central and articulating tool, to give space to the “crossing of cultural perspectives” (MacDougall 1997), where the composition of the voices created the content. The camera follows the lines of life, in search of the meeting of elements and materials. With this, I intended to generate polyphonic content, through image and voice capture, about the empirical knowledge associated with underwater fishing, and taught through daily practice and observation. To account for the diversity of details and complex intertwined lives and materials related to this ethnography, I propose the use of the coral system, as an observation window, to understand the impact of climate change on the proposed local scale.
Saraiva, António João. „Filme e hipervídeo : um retrato polifónico da geração dos Capelinhos a partir da emigração e regresso“. Doctoral thesis, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10400.2/3729.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleOs Açorianos nascem nas suas ilhas marcados pela inevitabilidade da partida: “Nascemos já preparados para a partida”, dizem-nos na ilha de S. Jorge. Sismos, dificuldades económicas, escassez de terra estão na origem desta circunstância. A geografia a sobrepor-se à história, como sublinhava Vitorino Nemésio. Uma fatalidade na partida que tem associada a ideia de regresso. Partida e regresso fazem parte das narrativas açorianas no romance, no conto ou na música. Uma vez na diáspora, o regresso (ou o desejo de regressar) permanece. “Ricos ou desiludidos pretendem voltar. O ideal do Açoriano é formar lá um pecúlio e vir depois gozá-lo na sua ilha querida”, diz-nos mestre Leite de Vasconcelos depois de uma saudosa visita às ilhas em 1926. Muito frequentemente, o regresso acaba por não se concretizar, principalmente por razões familiares. Um conflito que a expressão “minha terra minha dor, meu filho meu amor” bem expressa. Os processos migratórios originam sempre novos territórios culturais, desde logo pela desterritorialização (perda da relação natural com o território cultural de origem). A adaptação cultural que ela obriga desencadeia fenómenos de reterritorialização ou, por outras palavras, processos de adaptação a novos territórios, originando novas ilhas açorianas em terras da América. O arquipélago prolonga-se para lá da ilha do Corvo. Outras ilhas existem mais a ocidente. Este estudo centra-se na questão do regresso a partir da vaga migratória dos Capelinhos, nome com que ficou conhecida a geração que emigrou na sequência da erupção dos Capelinhos, em 1957, e que está hoje na idade de reforma e, por isso, com possibilidade de voltar. Com uma permanência longa, de várias décadas, em terras novas, as suas raízes estão divididas entre a terra onde nasceram e onde se encontram as suas memórias de infância, e a Califórnia, onde viveram vidas ativas e onde nasceram os filhos e os netos. “A terra dos nossos filhos é também a nossa terra”, dizem-nos em S. José (Califórnia). A terra velha terá ficado para trás. O texto apresentado será, nos aspetos essenciais, intencionalmente multidiscursivo e polifónico (múltiplas vozes), tomando caraterísticas diferentes que passarão pela etnohistória, narrativas pessoais biográficas, descrições pormenorizadas da vida quotidiana de famílias, com o propósito de apresentar um texto que pretendemos seja uma alegoria sobre o regresso (allegoria, de allos “outro” + agoria “discurso”). Refletiremos também sobre o contributo e as especificidades de um trabalho de observação mediado por câmara e sobre o contributo do filme etnográfico e do hipervídeo enquanto discursos narrativos que concorrem com o texto para a compreensão do regresso e da Açorianidade. Apresentaremos seis casos de estudo (seis famílias), que foram objeto de acompanhamento durante dois meses de trabalho de campo em S. Jorge (Açores) e nove meses em S. José (Califórnia). Com este trabalho, que inclui a produção de um documentário e de um hipervídeo, estudámos o modo como o desejo de regressar é vivenciado nos quotidianos, acrescentando conteúdos para um retrato polifónico do regresso, que pretenderá juntar-se a um álbum de outros retratos sobre a Açorianidade. A escrita, o audiovisual, o hipervídeo não são, pois, discursos e narrativas separados mas resultam numa cultura de convergência dos média e dos conteúdos.
Azoreans are born onto their islands marked by the inevitability of departure: "We are born prepared for departure" we are told on the island of S. Jorge. Earthquakes, economic difficulties, shortage of land are the source of this condition. The geography overlaps history as is stressed Vitorino Nemésio. One outcome of any departure is that it is often associated with the idea of return. Departure and return are a part of Azorean narratives, be it in novels, short story or in music. Once in the diaspora, return or the desire to do so will persevere. “Rich or disillusioned, they intend to return. The Azorean ideal is to save up and return, in order to enjoy it on their beloved island”, says Leite Vasconcelos, after a heartfelt visit to the islands in 1926. More often then not, however, the definite return does not materialize, owed primarily for family reasons. A sentiment well expressed in the saying: “my land my pain, my son my love”. Migration processes ultimately originate new cultural territories, brought about by deterritorialization (loss of a natural relationship with the cultural territory of origin). The forced cultural brings about a phenomena of reterritorialization, or, in other words, a processes of adaptation to new territory, leading to the creation of ‘new Azorean islands’ on the American landscape. The archipelago extends beyond the islands of Flores and Corvo. This study focuses on issues of return, focusing on the Capelinhos migration wave, the name given to the generation of emigrants that departed following the eruption of the Capelinhos volcano in 1957 and who, today, are of retirement age and, therefore, could hold the possibility of returning. With their prolonged stay, now ranging several decades, in ‘the new land’, their roots are divided by the land where they were born and where their childhood memories are implanted, and California where they lived out their active lives and where their children and grandchildren were born. “The land of our children is also our land”, we are told in San Jose (California). The old country has been left behind. The text to be presented will be on these essential aspects, intentionally multi-discursive and polyphonic (multiple voiced) taking into consideration different characteristics that will include ethno-histories, personal biographical narratives, detailed descriptions of daily family life, this with the purpose of presenting a written account aimed to be an allegory on return (allegoria, from allos 'other' + agoria 'speaking'). We will additionally reflect on the contribution and specificities garnished through observation fieldwork mediated by video camera relying on the contribution of ethnographic film and hypervideo as narrative discourse methods that while accompany the text for a richer understanding of return and the Azoreaness. We present six case studies (six families) who were the object of fieldwork observation for a period of two months on the island of S. Jorge (Azores) and nine months in San Jose (California). With this study, which additionally includes the production of a documentary and hypervideo, we observe how the desire to return is experienced on a daily basis, adding content to a polyphonic portrait of return with the aim of putting together an album of portraits on Azoreaness.
