*London Latin American Anthropology Seminar Series, Autumn Term 2016*
*Thursday 10 November* – *Flavia Kremer, University of Manchester*
*‘Is A Non-Bororo Man A Mr. Wrong?’ Exploring Gender and Kinship Through
the Generation of Filmic Knowledge*
‘Is a non-Bororo man a Mr. Wrong?’ is a feature length film exploring new
configurations of kinship among the Bororo people in Central Brazil. In
Bororo villages today there are a number of ‘wrong marriages’, marital
alliances that classic anthropology would have classified as ‘incest’,
which the Bororo justify through an idiom of ‘love’ and ‘modernity’.
Building on a period of twelve months’ fieldwork, I explored this issue
through a film experiment: the making of the ethnographic ‘romantic comedy’
‘In Search of a Bororo Mr. Right’. In order to produce ‘Is a non-Bororo man
a Mr.Wrong?’ I shall return to the Bororo village, screen ‘Mr.Right’ and
then refashion some of its sequences whilst incorporating feedback from
Bororo viewers. The film will integrate observational footage, interviews
and a reflexive approach to the exploration of a ‘fictional’ ‘romantic
comedy’ through memory and feedback. Through a mixture of inductive and
deductive approaches to filmmaking, the project seeks to contribute to key
debates around gender and kinship in anthropology.
The seminar will take place *at 17:30 at the Senate House* (Room 234, South
Block, Malet St, London WC1E 7HU).
This seminar series is jointly run by the Institute of Latin American
Studies and the Anthropology departments of LSE, Goldsmiths and UCL.
