Short abstract:


The world is changing, perspectives are changing, ways to look, collaborate
and present findings are becoming much more variable, much more creative,
much more demanding. Working with visuals offers numerous prospects to
analyse and display challenges that people are confronted with worldwide.


Long abstract:


The world is on the move. It is changing rapidly. Media confront us with
images of incidents all over the globe. How can anthropologists working with
visuals gain and offer new and more profound insights and analyses? Since
the the first EASA conference at Coimbra, visual anthropology has constantly
sought out new forms and methods of working with visuals. Nowadays a wide
range of collaboration and expression are feasible. But visual practices and
methodologies still raise many questions. What kinds of insights are
provided by new forms of creativity? What new ways are there for us to work
collaboratively with visuals, and with what analytical impact? What are the
consequences of more widespread dissemination of our research? And how do we
cope with ethical questions, given the increasing distance between the
public use and abuse of visual images and academic constraints on them? This
panel also invites papers on projects of different types looking for new
horizons in and beyond both Europe and academia. How can we use our skills,
methods, and insights to understand and explain situations that different
societies are struggling with? What practical applications are thinkable,
what new insights are imaginable, and for whom? How can public audiences
benefit from the insights that visual practices and methods have to offer?

We are looking forward to your submissions

Best wishes

Felicia Hughes-Freeland
