Working Images Working Images Visual methods such as drawing, painting, video, photography and hypermedia offer increasingly accessible and popular resources for ethnographic research. In Working Images, prominent visual anthropologists and artists explore how old and new visual media can be integrated into contemporary forms of research and representation. Drawing upon projects undertaken both ‘at home’ in their native countries and abroad in locations such as Ethiopia and Venezuela, the book’s contributors demonstrate how visual methods are used in the field, and how these methods can produce and communicate knowledge about our own and other cultures. As well as focusing on key issues such as ethics and the relationship between word and image, they emphasise the huge range of visual methods currently opening up new possibilities for field research, from graphic art to new media such as digital video and on-line technologies.

  • Digital-Visual Stakeholder Ethnography Sarah Pink, Kerstin
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery Digital-Visual Stakeholder Ethnography Sarah Pink, Kerstin Leder Mackley, Nadia Astari and John Postill Abstract In this article we discuss how new configurations of stakeholders are implicated and can be conceptualised in digital-visual applied and public ethnography. We set the discussion in the context of the increasing calls for researchers to have impact in the world, and the ways that digital technologies are increasingly implicated in this. In doing so we situate ethnographic practice and stakeholder relationships within a digital-material world. To develop our argument we discuss examples of two recent digital video ethnography projects, developed in dialogue with anthropological theory, with online digital-visual applied and public dissemination outputs. As we show, such projects do not necessarily have one direct applied line, but rather can have multiple impacts across different groups of stakeholders. Keywords Digital ethnography; visual ethnography; applied practice; stakeholders in research; environmental sustainability; impact. Introduction In a context of ‘digital materiality’, whereby the digital and material can no longer be seen as separate elements of our everyday environments and practice (Pink, Ardevol and Lanzeni 2016) new forms of applied and public scholarship and practice are emerging. On the one hand, there are calls for academic researchers to have impact in the world, and on the other the possibilities of digital and visual technologies for ethnographic practice. We argue that attention to these shifts offers new possibilities for how we can understand and activate potential forms of impact for and with stakeholders, through new interdisciplinary theory-practice interfaces.

  • Whitepaper Ph: +1.210.828.8300 Doug Donahue VP, Business Development
    Entrada Group whitepaper www.entradagroup.com Ph: +1.210.828.8300 Doug Donahue VP, Business Development White Paper - Why An Accurate Cost Model Could be the Difference between Success and Failure in Mexico Every time we are in contact with a manufacturer considering Mexico, one of the first exercises we conduct with them is a cost model. It occurs early in the site selection process and is, understandably, one of the most important questions to answer – How much does everything cost? Unfortunately, many companies contemplating a new manufacturing location (particularly in a foreign country) either don’t run through a sufficiently comprehensive cost model or they lack insight into all the costs they will encounter in an unfamiliar location. This can lead to hidden costs that will only be identified further down the road, after it is too late. Entrada Group has compiled this FAQ to help manufacturers who are considering their first step toward Mexican manufacturing and need some insight into how to best complete a cost model. We added some typical questions at the end about growth, as we hear these a lot. Manufacturing Cost Models – Frequently asked questions Q: What does Entrada Group include in a manufacturing cost model? A: A thorough cost model must include all costs associated with doing business in Mexico, except for raw materials. It’s important to remember that a cost model is not a startup model; a cost model must include all ongoing Mexican costs. A startup model is useful, but only for the initial phase. To be accurate, the cost model must include complete operational costs the manufacturer incurs in the course of production.

Whereas Fadanelli centers his works in the megalopolis of a Mexico City straining under the pressures of rapid modernization and development, Gutiérrez depicts a Havana crumbling during the economic crises of the Special Period, and Vallejo portrays Medellín as utterly degraded by drug trafficking and its associated violence. All three authors, however, employ the gritty, almost visceral dirty realist style to best depict poverty-stricken societies populated by unexceptional individuals in a quest for survival in a rapidly transforming and decaying urban landscape. This dirty realist space is thus primarily defined by abjection and the uncomfortable coexistence of a focus on distinctive ii local minutia and the homogenizing effects of global, postmodern consumer society, a phenomenon accompanied by the proliferation of non-places as defined by Marc Augé.

    FORUM : QUALITATIVE Volume 9, No. 2, Art. 58 S O C IA L R ES EA RC H May 2008 S OZIALFORS CHUNG Performative Social Science: A Consideration of Skills, Purpose and Context Brian Roberts Key words: Abstract: This article reviews recent work applying a notion of "performance" in the study and rep- performance, resentation of lives. It tries to clarify some of the issues involved—including the meaning of "perfor- performative turn, mance"—and "performative"—the range of possible approaches (e.g., in addition to drama—other performance arts) and the relationship between "subjects", "researcher" and "audience". An immediate concern studies is the nature of the researcher—as having the necessary skills and abilities or knowledge involved in "performance" (in researching, writing, recording and representing), as engaged (to some extent) in "artistic" endeavour, and moving between a number of "roles" and social relations in "performing" with/to others (the "researched" group, audience and society). An important issue for social science in crossing or bridging the social science-arts, in taking up "performative approaches", is "What re- mains distinctive about the social science if it becomes involved with performance approaches?" As a source for comparison (and inspiration), some brief reference will be made to the work of KANDIN- SKY—who moved across disciplinary boundaries and artistic practices—as ethnographer, painter, teacher, designer, theorist and poet. Finally, perhaps, there is a deeper "turn" indicated by the "turn to performance" in the study of lives, a more "complete" portrait of the individual as an active, communicative and sensual being.

    International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 2120–2143 1932–8036/20200005 Communicating Academic Knowledge Beyond the Written Academic Text: An Autoethnographic Analysis of the Mirror Palace of Democracy Installation Experiment NICO CARPENTIER1 Charles University, Czech Republic Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Uppsala University, Sweden The article first discusses five approaches that aim to transcend, complement, or overturn the hegemony of the written academic text. These five approaches are (1) the cluster of science communication, science popularization, and knowledge dissemination; (2) the cluster of knowledge exchange, and participatory, transformative, and interventionist (action) research; (3) multimodal academic communication; (4) the cluster of visual anthropology and visual sociology; and (5) arts-based research. As each approach deals with (overcoming) the hegemony of the written academic text differently, the first part of the article details these approaches. In the second part, the Mirror Palace of Democracy installation experiment, which had the explicit objective of moving beyond the written academic text while still remaining in the realm of academic knowledge communication, is autoethnographically analyzed. The experiment allowed reflection on the integrated and iterative nature of academic communication, on the hybrid academic–artistic identity, and on the diversification of publics. Both the theoretical discussion on the five approaches and the Mirror Palace of Democracy installation are part of a call for
