This is an optional unit for the MA Social Anthropology Degree. Visual Anthropology has two core focuses: the historical and contemporary use of visual media by anthropologists and others, and the creation and use of visual systems within societies themselves. The unit will engage with both these aspects, and also present a number of examples of research carried out using visual media. Lectures will also involve the screening of ethnographic films, followed by discussions. The unit is supported by Blackboard.
