Introduction to Visual Anthropology

“Thank you very much for choosing this course! It was enriching to have followed this journey of learning from the perspective that visual anthropology offers us. To make it easier to organize your project, I've compiled a list of essential steps: · Choose a topic for your survey. Something that is important and interesting to you, that you really want to know more about and that will lead to relevant results that you can use effectively in different aspects of your life · Make a good plan. Define who you want to talk to and who and what you want to photograph. Think about different stages and moments of the project. Remember to think about schedule and budget. · Go to field with open chest. Dealing with your fears, anxieties and people's unwillingness to participate in your study is part of the process. Review your plan and learn from your difficulties. · Evaluate the material you are collecting in the field. Browse photos, flip through your notebook, listen to conversations. Make sure you're getting good information. · Organize the material. This occupies a large part of the analysis process. The easier it is to find some information, the smoother your analysis process will be. The course project, more than a report, is a storytelling. Think about this narrative, the climax, the moral of the story and the characters. It is not enough to present the data, it is necessary to captivate the viewer, make him see and experience a little of what you experienced throughout the work. Use creativity!
