Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Visual anthropology is a subfield of sociocultural anthropology that encompasses a set of research techniques and modes of representation that are (through production and analysis) concerned with all visible aspects of culture and society. As a research technique, it uses pictorial media as a means of exploring social phenomena and of accessing, evoking, and communicating anthropological knowledge—mainly through the media of ethnographic photographs and films and, since the mid‐1990s, new digital technologies. Furthermore, visual anthropology includes the study of pictorial manifestations of culture, ranging from nonverbal communication, ritual and performance, dance, and art to material culture.
