Spitting open the sky
Diffracting a research project in a UK primary school, this paper concerns feminist materialist orientations to odd-ness as a relational, distributed, and affective form of “thinking-feeling”. It suggests that attuning to affect as it moves through a context resistant to disruption, involves becoming “bad researchers”; bad for composing an unruly research problem, for embracing a transgressive methodology, and for writing in willfully inconclusiv…
From Documenting Culture to Experimenting with Cultural Phenomena
This chapter discusses the effects of this strategy on the relationship between anthropology and photography and then to suggest that the heterogeneity that surrounds the reception of photographs could become a more explicit part of the process of producing ethnographic images themselves. Rosier brings us close to the traditional sites of documentary photography, but makes us question this imagery by withholding the kinds of visual information, r…
Making Do
This chapter is a report from the field. It addresses what Schneider and Wright have called ‘the challenge of practice’ through an exploration of initiatives pursued in the space between art and anthropology. If visual anthropology has been associated with a simple-minded scientism, it has also been condemned for its artfulness. For, contrary to its perception as one of the most formally and conceptually backward areas of visual anthropology, Gri…
Desenhar com uma câmera? Filme etnográfico e antropologia transformadora
O desenho tem emergido como um foco recente de atenção antropológica. Escritores como Ingold e Taussig defenderam sua importância como um tipo especial de prática de conhecimento, ligando-o a uma reimaginação mais ampla do próprio projeto antropológico. Em respaldo a sua abordagem, está uma oposição entre o lápis e a câmera, entre "fazer" e "tirar", entre modos de inquirição restritiva e produtiva. Este artigo desafia tal suposição, argumentando …

Rigour plays a central role in contemporary research culture. But how appropriate a concept is it to think, perform, and make judgements with on what is trustworthy and excellent in artistic research and its neighbouring field of arts and health? The historical meanings of rigour suggest severity and rigidity: straight lines, austere habits, privations. As a word, rigour has a mixed ancestry – French, Latin, Middle English. Some of its earliest u…
On Reverie, Collaboration, and Recovery
This is a meditation on reverie and collaboration in the context of recovery: recovery from substance misuse, but also in its much broader sense, recovering the connection between thinking and feeling. It highlights tensions that can be encountered when feeling constrained by perceptions of disciplinary norms, as well as the rewards of working through thought processes in connection with visual expression. Several narrative moments of my own jour…
Seeing the wood for the trees
Social Science is increasingly called on to address “grand challenges”, “wicked problems”, “societal dilemmas” and similar problematiques. Examples include climate change, the war on drugs and urban poverty. It is now widely agreed that the disciplinary structure of academic science, with its journals, curricula, peer communities, etc., is not well suited to such trans-disciplinary, ill-bounded, controversial issues, but the ways forward are not …

The ethnographic turn - and after
The ethnographic turn has been the focus of recent debate between artists and anthropologists. Crucial to it has been an expansive notion of the ethnographic. No longer considered a specialised technique, the essays of Clifford and others have proposed a broader and more eclectic interpretation of ethnography – an approach long considered to be the exclusive preserve of academic anthropology. In this essay, we look more critically at what the eth…
Drawing with a camera? Ethnographic film and transformative anthropology
Drawing has emerged as a recent focus of anthropological attention. Writers such as Ingold and Taussig have argued for its significance as a special kind of knowledge practice, linking it to a broader re-imagining of the anthropological project itself. Underpinning their approach is an opposition between the pencil and the camera, between 'making' and 'taking', between restrictive and generative modes of inquiry. This essay challenges this assump…
Rethinking observational cinema
Observational cinema' has long been central to debates in visual anthropology. Although initially hailed as a radical breakthrough in ethnographic filmmaking, the genre was subsequently criticized as naïvely empiricist and lacking in reflexive sophistication. In this article, we make a new case for observational cinema. It grows out of a renewed attention to practice. We argue that observational work be understood not as preliminary to anthropolo…
‘A Weight of Meaninglessness About Which There Is Nothing Insignificant’
Visualizing Anthropology
News from Home
The anthropologist James Clifford has argued that the term ethnography refers to more than the research technique associated with anthropology. Ethnography is a term for a cultural predisposition shared by twentieth-century social science, writing and arts. In this expanded form, ethnography suggests ‘a characteristic attitude of participant observation among the artefacts of a de-familiarised cultural reality'.Having trained first as an artist a…
