..".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 Association
Visual anthropology has proved to offer fruitful methods of
research and representation to applied projects of social
intervention. Through a series of case studies based on applied
visual anthropological work in a range of contexts (health and
medicine, tourism and heritage, social development, conflict and
disaster relief, community filmmaking and empowerment, and
industry) this volume examines both the range contexts in which
applied visual anthropology is engaged, and the methodological and
theoretical issues it raises.
Sarah Pink is a social anthropologist whose research includes a
focus on visual methodologies and the relationship between applied
and academic anthropology. Her books include Doing Visual
Ethnography (2001), Home Truths (2004), Working Images (2004) and
Applications of Anthropology (2005). She is reader in Social
Anthropology in the Department of Social Sciences at Loughborough
University."
