Doing audio/visual/sensory ethnography with and on smartphones – a possible roadmap for an expanded ethnography
This article explores the intersection between smartphones and audio-visual-sensory ethnographies. The text opens with a brief introduction addressing the possible consequences of the growing spread of smartphones for the practice of ethnography. It then proceeds to reflect on some theoretical assumptions that underpin work in the area of digital visuality before finally unpacking the terrain of smartphone ethnography. The latter is address along…
Making life stories visible
This paper analyses the lived experiences of people living with HIV in South Africa through the use of body mapping as a visual research method, by focusing on the physical and symbolic use of the body within the broader context of anthropology and medical anthropology. The study consists of an empirical analysis of the body maps themselves and the accompanied narratives of seven participants, six female and one male participant living with HIV i…
Octopuses, remoras, and surfers
This paper focuses on the inventive everyday digital practices that Cubans have put into place to surf the waves of digital scarcity. The paper itself is an experiment in what Donna Haraway calls SF stories (Science Fiction, Speculative Fabulation or Speculative Feminism). We will engage in a process of speculative narrative exploring stories about digital practices in Cuba by connecting them to the animal world. Through the use of metaphors belo…
Veiling the image/framing the body
Focusing on male transgender cammers on adult web page Chaturbate, this article goes into depth with issues of labour, archiving and in/visibility. The article starts by examining the production processes that characterize adult camming and argues that much of the labour involved is hidden behind the live screen. Next, we will look into the archival procedures that accompany camming shows. We suggest that adult camming is characterized by a tensi…
Using digital tools and ethnography for rethinking disability inclusive city design - Exploring material and immaterial dialogues
Successful inclusion is a subject that addresses the question of how well a society can prevent discrimination and ensure access to information, products, services, and spaces for all. Disability may not necessarily lead to exclusion, unless society fails to respond to the needs of people regardless of their impairment. Digital tools combined with ethnographic research may help researchers explore users’ needs, perceptions, behaviors, and attitud…
A Journey from Virtual and Mixed Reality to Byzantine Icons via Buddhist Philosophy
In the context of contemporary digital art and documentary making, practitioners are discovering the possibilities given by emerging image-based immersive practices, techniques and tools (360-degree video and photography; virtual, augmented, and mixed reality) to wrap viewers in the image and to blur the distance between viewer and viewed, ‘self’ and ‘other’. Challenging the distinction between presence and absence and between body and mind, thes…
In Defence of Formal Experimentation
This paper wants to draw the attention of the anthropological community to this dimension. Taking off from FOD but echoing broader debates on ethnography at large that may also echo the 1980's "writing culture" debate, I aim to raise questions about the meaning and role of aesthetics also in the anthropological practice. I claim that visual
With the Smartphone as Field Assistant
Tapping into on-going debates regarding the changing meaning of ethnography in a digitizing landscape, the present article explores the use of smartphones and smartphone apps as tools for conducting fieldwork by introducing a digital tool designed specifically for this purpose.Ideated by one of the authors of the paper and tested by the other, EthnoAlly has been created to assist anthropologists in conducting participatory multimodal ethnographic…

Tainted Frictions
Learning to look beyond the frame
Changing the way in which we produce, store and share images, new technologies have modified our ways of relating to and addressing the visual field. The importance of these changes resides not so much in the increased speed and size of production and distribution of images around the world, but rather on the practices that are emerging in parallel to this. Alongside with the spread of new technologies, the last decades have witnessed the growth …
The Concise Routledge Encyclopedia of the Documentary Film
In the last decade or so, documentary films seem to have been enjoying a new wave of popularity. Films such as Bowling for Columbine (2002), Super Size me (2004), March of the Penguins (2005) and W
Getting our hands dirty (again)
This article offers an ethnographic exploration of the world of interactive documentaries (i-docs), suggesting how such a scrutiny opens up a new scenario for visual culture - one where the study of the visual field needs to be backed up with an increasing awareness of digital culture, interactivity and the functioning of Web 2.0. Incorporating the languages that dominate communication on social networks and image sharing platforms, i-docs are a …
The spectacle of multicultural art and the invisibility of politics
What a wonderful world
Focusing on three ethnographic events (an Italian charter tour to Pakistan, a shopping event in a village replica in New Delhi and a festival of culture and travel in Italy) this article looks into the contemporary `culture industries of otherness' that is, those commercial events promoting knowledge about the world in its diversity. Criss-crossing visual anthropology, tourism anthropology and scholarly work on the politics of multi-culturalism t…
