Led by Dr Barbara Knorpp, ‘Visual Anthropology and the City’ looks at
documentaries on the city starting from the city symphonies of the 1920s to
the video diaries of Jonas Mekas in New York and James Benning’s style of
‘Slow Cinema’ in Los Angeles. Urban anthropology has fascinated
journalists, photographers and policy-makers since the emergence of the
Chicago School in the 1920s. Ethnography and long-term research facilitated
deeper insights into the everyday lives of urban neighbourhoods 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 films, photography, and writings that look at modernity,
subcultures, non-western cities, regeneration, urban elites, domestic
space, social movements and urban architecture. Those taking this course
will have the chance to hear about, watch and discuss films, photography
and writings on the subject.
