63. Exposing Yourself: Reflexivity, Anthropology, And Film - J Ruby A paper by Jay Ruby that explores the relationships between reflexivity, anthropology, and film. http://astro.temple.edu/~ruby/ruby/exposing.html

Exposing yourself: Reflexivity, anthropology, and film (1) JAY RUBY Semiotica 30-1/2 (1980), pages. 153-179. (Note - original pagination has been preserved for citations purposes.) Self-consciousness about modes of representation (not to speak of experiments with them) has been very lacking in anthropology. (Geertz 1973:19) (Myrdal 1969:4) My interest in these ideas stems from what began as an elitist fascination with 'backstage' (Goffman 1959). I was convinced that if I could understand how someone made something and who they were, that that knowledge would cause me to become an 'insider'. In time, the interest broadened and became more sophisticated. It caused me to page 153 admire the novels of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and Tom Robbins, the music of Frank Zappa, the photography of Lee Friedlander and Duane Michaels, the films of Jean-Luc Godard and Woody Allen, the paintings of Rene Magritte, and the comedy of the Firesign Theatre and Monty Python. Whatever else these people may be doing, they are trying to raise the critical consciousness of their audiences by being publicly, explicitly, and openly self-aware or reflexive. There are two other factors which figured in the development of my interest. For the past ten years I have been engaged in exploring the theoretical possibility of an anthropological cinema (Ruby 1971, 1975). During this process I discovered an apparent conflict between the scientific necessity for the anthropologist to reveal his methodology and the conventions of documentary film, which until recently have virtually prohibited such a revelation. In seeking a solution to this dilemma, I was drawn to the literature on reflexivity. In 1974, during the Conference on Visual Anthropology at Temple University in Philadelphia, I organized a series of film screenings and discussions on autobiographical, personal, and self-referential films. (3) In doing so, I began in a more formal and systematic way to explore the relationship between what I am now calling reflexive film and reflexive anthropology.

Visual Anthropology Certainly depicting other cultures on film has been a goal of early anthropologists and documentary filmmakers, but what does such a practice say about those who made these films, their knowledge of the culture and their ethical behavior? How do images captured on celluloid or video reflect our societal ideas about other cultures and what they represent? What do ethnographic films say about our society, our conceptions of other societies and where we are in relation to them? To answer these questions the course focuses on critical examination of ethnographic and anthropological films, beginning with early documentaries and extending to contemporary films for TV and the classroom. A sequence of films (videos) will be shown and discussed in class. Readings on anthropological filmmaking will be assigned to correspond to issues posed by specific films. Topics include filmmaking strategies and techniques, pros and cons of film versus written accounts, ethics of filmmaking, representation of cultural difference, and the nature of audience reaction.

The Crees of Northern Québec A Photographic Essay By Norman Chance and Paul Conklin On April 30th, 1971, the Québec Provincial Government announced that Hydro-Québec, a Crown Corporation, would develop the river systems draining into James Bay, Canada, for hydroelectric power. Since that time the landscape has undergone a significant change including the diversion and daming of major rivers and the formation of huge reservoirs. This geographical alteration has also transformed the life of the indigenous Crees - an Algonqian-speaking people who moved into the region long before the arrival of Europeans. Today, controversies continue to rage over the need for increased hydroelectric power versus energy conservation as well as protracted contestations over Native rights, mercury pollution, loss of wildlife habitat, and other forms of cultural and environmental disruption. Much is being written in the press and elsewhere about these developments. However, relatively little attention has been given to the Crees prior to the arrival of Hydro-Québec. What follows is brief commentary about the Crees living on the eastern most edge of the James Bay drainage system in the mid-1960s; followed by a gallery of photographs taken by Paul Conklin.

Society for Folk Arts Preservation, Inc. ABOUT THE SOCIETY The Society for Folk Arts Preservation, Inc. (SFAP) was founded in 1977 as a not-for-profit, 501C3 tax exempt, educational and cultural organization to act as a repository or archive for visual craft techniques in danger of disappearing throughout the world. By means of the production of films, video and audio tapes, SFAP seeks to preserve, document, and disseminate these techniques for the use of artists, anthropologists, social scientists, and the interested public. The Society was formed by an international group of artists, visual anthropologists, art historians, and folklorists concerned with the continuity of quality in the visual arts. The term folk arts as we see it, covers a broad area of still-living traditions which must be recorded, for, in a sense, only time will tell what will endure. Our main areas of interest are the intuitive art, in visual form, of the traditional craftsworker and the craft traditions handed down from generation to generation.

72. Franz Boas And Early Camera Study Of Behavior By Jay Ruby Kinesics Report article by Jay Ruby reviewing Boaz s visual anthropological research on the Kwakiutl. http://astro.temple.edu/~ruby/ruby/boas.html

Franz Boas and Early Camera Study of Behavior by Jay Ruby Kinesics Report Note - original pagination has been preserved for citation purposes. Franz Boas at 70 In 1930 Franz Boas took a motion picture camera and wax cylinder sound recording machine to the Northwest Coast.' He was 70 years old. It was Boas' last field trip to the Kwakiutl, a people he had studied for more than 40 years. He was accompanied by Julia Averkieva, a Russian anthropologist. During the field trip, Boas shot 16 mm motion picture footage of dances, games, some methods of manufacturing; recorded songs and music; and, in general, sought to gain those bits of information he felt were missing from his knowledge of the culture. In any event, Boas asked Gene Weltfish-because of her long term interest in motor habits-to study the footage of games and technology. Her own research was sufficiently demanding at the time that she was unable to complete the analysis (Weltfish, personal communication). Boas asked his daughter to study the dance footage. "The analysis of the dance films was done by me (Franziska Boas) and was enlarged with material from the "Social Organization and Secret Societies of the Kwakiutl Indians" (Boas 1897),and part of it was published as discussion after the Kwakiutl article by Boas in "The Function of Dance in Human Society". The manuscript of that was sent to Erna Gunther along with the films. " (Franziska Boas, Personal Communication) In the mid-1930s Boas asked Stuyvesant Van Veen, a painter working with David Efron on the study of gesture, to make some drawings from the 1930 footage. In 1961 the footage, drawings, and manuscript were given to the Burke Museum of the University of Washington by Franziska Boas. Bill Holm of the Burke Museum edited the footage into a two part film (Part I deals with Games and Technology and Part II with Dances and Ceremonies), annotated the footage with appropriate citations from Boas' publications, and attempted to locate the Kwakiutl in the film and ask them to describe what was depicted. The films together with Holm's notes are available from the University of Washington Press.

ru V Moscow International Festival of Visual Anthropology Visual Anthropology is neither simply cinema nor simply ethnography. During its short history which probably started with the excellent Robert Flaherty Nanouk of the North Visual Anthropology has revealed itself much broader than filming of exotic peoples. The current definition of Visual Anthropology sounds like follows: it is a cultural activity where cinema art, humanities and information technologies interact to receive and include in social practice visual information on ethnic traditions to perform dialogue of cultures. Visual anthropology uses all the arsenal of contemporary information means, cinema art and humanitarian scholarship. It seems to be one of the most effective means to prevent ethnic and religious conflicts. It aims at preserving images of little known and vanishing cultures, showing their specificity and universal essence, dialogue between alienated worlds. Synthetic nature of Visual Anthropology which unites expression of contemporary art and humanitarian ideas provides interest not only of professionals but also of the broader circle of viewers intrigued by historical destinies of their family, their people, their world.
