Plug and make
Indie game developers stand in balance between often insecure economic management and creative ingenuity. These two aspects converge in the ways makers combine readily available tools, i.e. middleware, to streamline their work. Much of their work is dedicated to putting together audio and graphics editors, free-to-use software, plug-ins, and communication platforms, to make videogame-making possible. As such, independence becomes a question of be…
Transabelles
Transabelles: Moving Bees at Night is a film about transhumance, the active displacement of livestock (including bees) from the highlands (in the summer) to the lowlands (in the winter). The name is a portmanteau of the Catalan words transhuma`ncia (transhumance) and abelles (bees). This short film presents a night in the labour of a beekeeper and his two helpers in the High Pyrenees in Catalonia, Spain. This district lies midway between the plai…
Confía en su apetito”. Apuntes sobre la exactitud etnográfica y el uso del dibujo en un contexto de desconfianza hacía las fotografías
The following article asks what role drawing plays in a context where the indexicality of images is politically charged, and where doubt is not only an ethnographic tool but also the object of ethnographic research. The article presents how in the mountainous district of the High Pyrenees and Aran (Alt Pirineu i Aran) in Spain, where I conducted research between 2016 and 2018, attacks by wildlife have drawn attention to the veracity of highly dis…
Trazos de antropologías dibujantes
Los trazos que este dossier reúne surgen de pensar, desde la antropología, sobre, con o a través de dibujos. En el momento de convocarlos, pensamos en el dibujo como método etnográfico, como herramienta de trabajo y como una manera lenta de ver: de prolongar la atención en el tiempo (Ingold, 2013), de dejarse llevar por algo en su desenvolvimiento (Taussig, 2016). También pensamos en investigaciones que reflexionan sobre dibujos: sobre su carga a…
Reskilling for sustainability
We complete this thematic issue's contribution on skill, food, and sustainability with a team report based on ethnographic research which focuses on reskilling for sustainability in multiple European locations and involving diverse social actors and stakeholders.The Food Citizens?project (2017-2024) is a comparative ethnographic analysis of collective food procurement networks and phenomena in European cities.Three Ph.D. candidates, two post docs…
Circular Digital Relations
Interactive documentary are epistemological tools that can help shaping and fostering comparative reflections in collaborative ethnographic projects. This paper analyses the process of planning and coding a digital platform – an interactive documentary – as part of my work in the Food Citizens? ERC Project. I will consider images and lines of codes that exemplify how making the digital platform mediate the processes of comparison and collaboratio…
Picturing Intimacy
Taking as a point of departure the Italian American community in Boston and its process of collective remembrance surrounding Saint Anthony’s Feast, we addressing the limits and potential of montage. We argue that the multi-vocality and multi-temporality of social networks can be incorporated into the linearity of a narrated film. We discuss how editing found footage into the film Christmas in August (2013, http://christmasinaugust.altervista.org…
