The Routledge International Handbook of Ethnographic Film and Video
is a state-of-the-art book which encompasses the breadth and depth
of the field of ethnographic film and video-based research. With
more and more researchers turning to film and video as a key
element of their projects, and as research video production becomes
more practical due to technological advances as well as the growing
acceptance of video in everyday life, this critical book supports
young researchers looking to develop the skills necessary to
produce meaningful ethnographic films and videos, and serves as a
comprehensive resource for social scientists looking to better
understand and appreciate the unique ways in which film and video
can serve as ways of knowing and as tools of knowledge
mobilization. Comprised of 31 chapters authored by some of the
world's leading experts in their respective fields, the book's
contributors synthesize existing literature, introduce the
historical and conceptual dimensions of the field, illustrate
innovative methodologies and techniques, survey traditional and new
technologies, reflect on ethics and moral imperatives, outline ways
to work with people, objects, and tools, and shape the future
agenda of the field. With a particular focus on making ethnographic
film and video, as opposed to analyzing or critiquing it, from a
variety of methodological approaches and styles, the Handbook
provides both a comprehensive introduction and up-to-date survey of
the field for a vast variety of audiovisual researchers, such as
scholars and students in sociology, anthropology, geography,
communication and media studies, education, cultural studies, film
studies, visual arts, and related social science and humanities. As
such, it will appeal to a multidisciplinary and international
audience, and features a dynamic, forward-thinking, innovative, and
contemporary focus oriented toward the very latest developments in
the field, as well as future possibilities.
