Abstract

Two decades ago the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology (GCVA) at the University of Manchester, U.K., was created. Since then it has become one of the most acclaimed postgraduate visual anthropology schools in the world, providing a space for theoretical debate and training in ethnographic filmmaking techniques. Conceived originally as a master's program under the sponsorship of Granada Television and the University of Manchester, it has now extended training to the Ph.D. level to students from around the world. In this interview, Professor Paul Henley, GCVA's director since its inception, reflects on the last 20 years of the Granada Centre, ethnographic filmmaking, the state of the art in theory and practice in visual anthropology, and new possibilities and challenges for the future.

Abstract

Access to an archive of videos recording popular trials organized according to “Mayan law” filmed by indigenous people in Santa Cruz del Quiché, Guatemala, prompted the author to propose a collaborative video project with local indigenous mayors. This took place in a postwar region characterized by high levels of criminality and social violence, where the presence of state law was minimal or inexistent. The article discusses the possibilities and challenges of this collaborative project and emphasizes the uses of video in indigenous legal practices. It offers theoretical reflections on a range of issues, including legal pluralism, indigenous video, intertextuality and collaborative anthropology. L'accès à des archives vidéos, enregistrant des procès populaires organisés selon la "loi Maya" et filmées par des autochtones de Santa Cruz del Quiché, au Guatemala, a incité l'auteur à proposer un projet vidéo en collaboration avec des maires autochtones locaux. Cela s'est produit dans une région de l'après-guerre caractérisée par des niveaux élevés de criminalité et de violence sociale, où la présence du droit étatique était minimale ou inexistante. L'article examine les possibilités et les défis de ce projet de collaboration et met l'accent sur l'utilisation de la vidéo dans les pratiques juridiques autochtones. Il propose des réflexions théoriques sur toute une série de questions, dont le pluralisme juridique, la vidéo autochtone, l'intertextualité et l'anthropologie collaborative. El acceso de un archivo de video registrando juicios populares dentro del llamado “derecho maya” y filmado por camarógrafos indígenas de Santa Cruz del Quiché, Guatemala, posibilitó que el autor propusiera un proyecto colaborativo de video con alcaldes indígenas locales. Lo anterior se llevó a cabo en una región de postguerra caracterizada por altos niveles de criminalidad y violencia social, donde la presencia del derecho oficial es mínima o inexistente. El artículo discute las posibilidades y dificultades de este proyecto colaborativo y enfatiza sobre los usos del video en prácticas legales indígenas. Ofrece reflexiones teóricas alrededor de varios temas, como el pluralismo legal, el video indígena, la intertextualidad y la antropología colaborativa.

22. Visual Anthropology: Away or Close to the Anthropological Subject?

Author

Flores, Carlos Y.

Subjects
*VISUAL anthropology, *ART & anthropology, *PHOTOGRAPHY in ethnology, *SOCIAL groups, *ANTHROPOLOGICAL education, *SOCIOLOGY, *SOCIOECONOMIC factors, *OTHER (Philosophy), *GLOBALIZATION & society
Abstract

The article provides a critical analysis of the role of photography and visual arts in the study and development of anthropology. It argues that given the origins of visual anthropology, power relations at play, meaning the representation of one social group by another, should be analyzed in the broader context of colonial process and internal colonialism. The article also considers some forms of visual production which has managed to escape socioeconomic inequalities generated by colonialism. Globalization has allowed newer forms of cultural domination in order to reaffirm power.
