Vizualna antropologija / Visual Anthropology
Področje vizualne antropologije in etnografije je že pred časom prešlo fazo formiranja in mnogi akterji, ki so spremljali in soustvarjali zgodovino, se danes ozirajo na svoje delo, ga ponovno presojajo, sistematizirajo, pa tudi iščejo nova vprašanja ali teme za raziskave, ki bi zaokrožile in dopolnile njihov opus. V ta prostor sodi tudi knjiga, v kateri so objavljeni prispevki šestnajstih domačih in tujih antropologov oz. etnologov. Nekateri iščejo širši, oddaljeni pogled na svoje dolgoletno delo, dejavnosti in sodelovanja, drugi obravnavajo ožje teme ali vprašanja, na primer o izobraževalnih modelih in pristopih, o terenskih izkušnjah in metodah, definiciji etnografskega f...
Making Representations
Drawing upon material from Britain, Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, Making Representations explores the ways in which museums and anthropologists are responding to pressures in the field by developing new policies and practices, and forging new relationships with communities. Simpson examines the increasing number of museums and cultural centres being established by indigenous and immigrant communities as they take control of the interpretive process and challenge the traditional role of the museum. Museum studies students and museum professionals will all find this a stimulating and valuable read.

The Unfortunates
A sports journalist, sent to a Midlands town on a weekly assignment, finds himself confronted by ghosts from the past when he disembarks at the railway station. Memories of one of his best, most trusted friends, a tragically young victim of cancer, begin to flood through his mind as he attempts to go about the routine business of reporting a football match. B S Johnson’s famous ‘book in a box’, in which the chapters are presented unbound, to be read in any order the reader chooses, is one of the key works of a novelist now undergoing an enormous revival of interest. The Unfortunates is a book of passionate honesty and dark, courageous humour: a meditation on death and a celebration of friendship which also offers a remarkably frank self-portrait of its author.
Picturing Culture
Here, Jay Ruby—a founder of visual anthropology—distills his thirty-year exploration of the relationship of film and anthropology. Spurred by a conviction that the ideal of an anthropological cinema has not even remotely begun to be realized, Ruby argues that ethnographic filmmakers should generate a set of critical standards analogous to those for written ethnographies. Cinematic artistry and the desire to entertain, he argues, can eclipse the original intention, which is to provide an anthropological representation of the subjects. The book begins with analyses of key filmmakers (Robert Flaherty, Robert Garner, and Tim Asch) who have striven to generate profound statements about human behavior on film. Ruby then discusses the idea of research film, Eric Michaels and indigenous media, the ethics of representation, the nature of ethnography, anthropological knowledge, and film and lays the groundwork for a critical approach to the field that borrows selectively from film, communication, media, and cultural studies. Witty and original, yet intensely theoretical, this collection is a major contribution to the field of visual anthropology.
