The event is divided into two parts. In the morning a series of speakers
will give short individual presentations on how they have used
anthropological theory in their own studies of media forms and practices.
Using the morning presentations and their own and other published work as
examples, each group will work on the wider question of: What is the unique
and specific contribution that anthropological theory has to make to the
interdisciplinary study of media? Each group will then report back to the
workshop and the day will end with a final discussion.
