From an eminent author in the field, "The Future of Visual
Anthropology" develops a new approach to visual anthropology and
presents a groundbreaking examination of developments within the
field and the way forward for the subdiscipline in the twenty-first
century
The explosion of visual media in recent years has generated a wide
range of visual and digital technologies which have transformed
visual research and analysis. The result is an exciting new
interdisciplinary approach of great potential influence for the
future of social/cultural anthropology.
Sarah Pink argues that this potential can be harnessed by engaging
visual anthropology with its wider contexts, including:
* the increasing use of visual research methods across the social
sciences and humanities
* the growth in popularity of the visual as methodology and object
of analysis within mainstream anthropology and applied
anthropology
* the growing interest in 'anthropology of the senses' and media
anthropology
* the development of new visual technologies that allow
anthropologists to work in new ways.
This book has immense interdisciplinary potential, and will be
essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners of
visual anthropology, media anthropology, visual cultural studies,
media studies and sociology.
