Call for papers
*V**isual Anthropology and the City* is a one-day-symposium at UCL, which
brings together *anthropologists, filmmakers, and artists *and is held at
the Institute of Archaeology, Department of Museum and Cultural Heritage
Studies, 31-34 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PY in collaboration with the
Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI) on *Friday 14th October 2016*.
Free event. All Welcome!
Urban anthropology has fascinated journalists, photographers and policy
makers with the emergence of the Chicago School since the 1920s.
Ethnography and long-term research facilitated deeper insights into the
everyday lives of urban neighborhoods that were often associated with
violence, crime and housing problems. Cinema and photography have also
since their inception engaged with the urban, and their development is
deeply entwined with that of the modern metropolis. We are interested in
visual research that looks at modernity, subcultures, non-western cities,
regeneration, urban elites, domestic space, social movements and urban
architecture. In this symposium we will discuss films, photography and
writings on the subject from both academic and practitioners’
perspectives. We encourage our speakers to divert from traditional
presentations and include performance, moving images, photography, or the
use of soundscapes for their papers. The presentations will last 20
minutes including discussion.
Please send a presentation title, name, affiliation (or company) and up to
250 word abstract to Barbara Knorpp (Anthropologist, UCL)
