Seminar on 'Visual anthropological perspectives on South Asian society', Tuesday 16th October at 16:00 - 17:00 in S2 seminar room, Alison Richard Building, University of Cambridge, 7 West Road, Cambridge.
Abstract: While stereotypical illustrations of South Asian society permeate most if its commercial and official representations, amateur films and photographs often contribute towards an ethnographic representation of it. This seminar identifies several visual anthropological methods able to advance new perspectives on modern South Asian society.
