Games and Public Anthropology
Multimodal anthropologists are using games and game design as a method for producing ethnographic knowledge collaboratively with research participants and as a genre for communicating anthropological knowledge with varied publics. As a methodological approach and a rhetorical genre, games offer unique affordances in that they highlight the dynamic interplay of structures, systems, rules, and norms on the one hand, and contingency, interaction, an…
The Uncertain Present and the Multimodal Future
Multimodality
Multimodality describes anthropological research through different media and along different platforms, including social media. Although anthropological work has involved multimodal forms from the beginnings of the discipline, multimodality has typically been pushed to the margins, with anthropologists achieving academic success only to the extent that they were able to produce academic monographs and journal articles in addition to their multimo…
Conference Review
AnthropologyCon 2017 transpired across multiple sites at the annual American Anthropology Association meeting in Washington, DC. The first event included a workshop on “Anthropology of/through Games” on Thursday afternoon, November 30, where participants learned about, brainstormed on, designed, and prototyped table-top games under the tutelage of Dr. Anatasia Salter, a game designer and games scholar from the University of Central Florida. In th…

Push It Along
Perhaps the most demonized group following the uprising that occurred after the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore were the youth of the city. As ethnographers working in the same neighborhoods where the Baltimore Uprising took place, we debated the representations we would make, cognizant that, in an atmosphere of both overt and covert racism, any representation we produced would be subject to political appropriation from the same mass media we …
Multimodality
This section used to be called Visual Anthropology. Its new name-Multimodal Anthropologies-reflects \nchanges in the media ecologies we engage as anthropologists, changes that have broadened our perspective to \ninclude other forms of media practice, while remaining inclusive of visual anthropology. Many of these \nchanges can be linked to three developments: (1) the (relative) democratization and integration of media \nproduction; (2) the shift …
Baltimore Steel Stories
The article offers information on the efforts to chronicle the economic and personal changes people have endured in Baltimore, Maryland, to make sense of their lives and represent the contradictions of capitalism which resulted in the media project entitled "Anthropology by the Wire." Topics include the fallout from the closure of one of the last remaining steel plants in the U.S., the contradictions within capitalist logic, and the structural vi…
Conclusion
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents two projects that represent future directions for our networked anthropology, highlighting the complex translations that our work takes as it engages the world through diverse encounters and collaborations. Both suggest certain directions that networked anthropology might take and both suggest an increasing distance b…

Tagging Culture
Multimedia challenges our understanding of what a public anthropology should do or can be. For our students and for communities with whom we work, the world exists to be recorded, shared, and distributed: social media is testament to this documentary Zeitgeist. How do we take a community's interest in these tools and forge a partnership that is both socially beneficial and rigorous? While the tools and the desire to undertake multimedia anthropol…
PhilippeBourgois and JeffSchonberg. Righteous Dopefiend. Berkeley
Perhaps the most obvious way to engage Righteous Dopefiend is by addressing the main impetus of the ethnography, the everyday lives of the Edgewater homeless and their collective struggles with heroin addiction.With solely that focus, this ethnography of drug abuse offers a significant contribution to the literature on street-level drug ethnography.While principal to an understanding of this collaborative ethnography, another way to engage this g…

Suburban Fear, Media and Gated Communities in Durban, South Africa
A disjuncture between the reality of crime and its perception has created a culture of fear within South Africa that bolsters gated community development and an accompanying fear industry that supports media, private security companies, and a number of other industries that provide security apparatuses. Is the establishment of gated communities an irrational response to perceptions of crime in South Africa in the twenty-first century? Or, are the…
Introduction
An introduction to a series of essays about racism and whiteness in the U.S. Included are information on anthropology's contribution to critical whiteness studies, the complexity by which whiteness in its various manifestations intersects with other identity formations, the continued strength of anthropological sensibilities in relation to the interrogation of interpretive repertoires of social life and their entanglement with rhetoric/realities …

there's a great deal social researchers doing visual work can learn from Pink's book...It's a valuable resource for researchers, activists, and social service workers looking for innovative visual methodologies for collaborative research and social intervention. It makes an excellent contribution to the ongoing academic debate over the value of applied and visual social research, as well. * Contexts, Magazine of the American Sociological Associat…
The ethnographic semiotics of a suburban moral panic
This article describes Worth's notion of ethnographic semiotics as part of an overall strategy employing the anthropology of visual communication in ethnographic research focused on media portrayals of a suburban community during a moral panic over a concentrated number of teenage heroin overdose deaths. While the full-length ethnography details multiple media events surrounding the moral panic, the central place of one piece of print media is de…

John Marshall's Kalahari Family
Throughout his career and through his films, John Marshall has embodied many representational debates in anthropology and ethnographic media production. With A Kalahari Family, Marshall has provided his most reflexive film to date as well as a comprehensive visual record of 50 years of transition among the Ju'hoansi, from lingering, hunter-gatherer subsistence to problematic and often tragic contemporary living conditions. A Kalahari Family bears…
