AGENET & VANEASA Webinar by Angela Torresan, PhD (University of Manchester, Granada Center for Visual Anthropology), 30 June 2021
Participants in the webinar were asked to work through a pre-recorded lecture on sensory ethnography and ethnographic films. Link to the lecture below. Password: sensoryfilm https://asifilm.myportfolio.com/lecture-5… Drawing on the discussion provided in the lecture, we looked at how one can use a smartphone camera to engage with an exploratory audio-visual sensorial approach to research on ageing. As such, this webinar focused mostly on methodology, but with a theoretical attention to the role of the senses, both as a subject matter and a mode of making knowledge, in our ethnographic research.
