Convocatoria


ISTITUTO SUPERIORE ETNOGRAFICO DELLA SARDEGNANUORO, SARDEGNA (ITALY)In collaboration with David and Judith MacDougall from the Centre forCross-Cultural Research, Australian National Universitywill offer a 7-day VIDEO WORKSHOP IN VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY6 - 12 September 2008at the Istituto Superiore Etnografico della Sardegna in Nuoro This workshop is being offered to persons with little or no priorexperience of video production who wish to use video in forthcomingresearch projects. It is open to graduate students and others with atleast three years of tertiary education. The workshop will include basicvideo training and theoretical discussions of how video may be applied toresearch and publication in anthropology and relateddisciplines. The emphasis will be upon the conceptual rather than thetechnical side of video practice. The workshop is intensive and will beconducted all day for each of the seven days, with morningsessions normally reserved for group instruction, screenings, anddiscussion, and the afternoons for individual practical exercises in andaround Nuoro. Although the workshop will not provide directinstruction in video editing, it will make use of a strategicapproach to filming and "editing in the camera" so that students willlearn to produce materials that can be edited effectively. We believe video can be used effectively in field research withoutextensive training, provided one learns certain basic skills andovercomes the most commonly made mistakes. We also believe video can beused to do more than merely gather visual records. It can be used toapproach knowledge in new ways, in a form of discoursesignificantly different from that of written texts. We thereforeapproach this medium as a new "language" that researchers can acquire andapply to their own disciplines. The workshop will be conducted over 7 days, from 6 to 12 September 2008,at the Istituto Superiore Etnografico della Sardegna in Nuoro. It will belimited to a maximum of 12 students. 5 places will bereserved for qualified Sardinian applicants, 2 places for qualifiedAustralian applicants, and the remaining places will be open to allapplicants.
