*Visual Anthropology and the City*
*‘Visual Anthropology and the City’ is a two-day-symposium organised
by Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI) and UCL Institute of Archaeology,
Heritage Studies, which brings together anthropologists, filmmakers and
artists. **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.
Please find the programme enclosed. The r**egistration deadline is MONDAY
10th October 2016.*
