ESTA VIDA SÃO DOIS DIAS (LEITURAS)

THE CORPOREAL IMAGE:
FILM, ETHNOGRAPHY, AND THE SENSES

"In ten chapters, MacDougall explores
the relations between photographic images
and the human body-the body of the viewer
and the body behind the camera as well
as the body as seen in ethnography, cinema, and photography.
In a landmark piece, he discusses the need for a new field of social aesthetics,
further elaborated in his reflections on filming at an
elite boys' school in northern India.
The theme of the school is taken up as well in his discussion
of fiction and nonfiction films of childhood.
The book's final section presents a radical view of the history
of visual anthropology as a maverick anthropological
practice that was always at odds with the anthropology of words.
In place of the conventional wisdom, he proposes a new set
of principles for visual anthropology".
