Contested Knowledge: Anthropological Perspectives

2023 25. 28. July 2023 an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitt
MnchenUmstrittenes Wissen/Contested Knowledge: Ethnologische Perspektiven
Call for Films

The history of ethnographic filmmaking is by its very nature permeated by
contested knowledges and by a plurality of anthropological perspectives. From
Rouchs anthropologie partage, and Gardners evocation of experience, to
MacDougalls and Taylor/Paravels sensorial-embodied filmmaking the ways in
which ethnographic documentaries are dealing with and producing knowledge(s)
are diverse and often controversial. Today the growing uses of media for
intended misinformation, the possibilities of audio-visual deep fakes, and the
claim of alternative facts are fuelling a distrust in academic knowledge
production and audio-visual documents alike. In times of national and global
political polarizations and of an unprecedented human induced environmental
crisis on the one hand, and of a trend toward highly scripted and dramatized
documentary formats on the other, the question of who is speaking for whom and
with what authority seems as pressing as the necessity for transcultural
mediation.For the upcoming GAA conference, we are assembling an accompanying
program with films and panel discussions in which we intend to discuss film
not only regarding individual topics and filmic styles, but also in a broader
sense, regarding its general role and potential in (academic) knowledge
production and public reach. In the film program we wish to reflect the
conference theme in the following questions and topics:


Films of/as Politics how can and do films engage politically charged
concepts like identity, gender, culture, or nature?

Non-fiction assessing and reflecting facts and truths in documentary
film(making)

Whos talking? who can speak about whom and how?

Telling or experiencing the role of sensory knowledge for approaching
others` lifeworlds

Participation, Collaboration, Dialogue, Activist Research knowledge
production as shared experience among humans and beyond


We encourage submitters to not only hand in ethnographic films, but also other
audio-visual forms and formats, like sound-pieces and video-essays. The films
and other works will be screened during the conference in Munich, their
presentation will be accompaniedby roundtable discussions with the filmmakers.
The film program will run as part of the conference in synchronous time slots.
In addition, all films/works shall be provided online via streaming, for
participants to watch at their preferred time, and for panel organizers and
participants to have the opportunityto include excerpts of the selected films
in other panels, while providing full-lengthversions online. We will accept
films and audio-visual works of any length and genre that were produced in
2021 or later. Student films and projects produced as part of ethnographic
research are particularly welcome. All films will be carefully considered by a
selection committee.

Submitted films need to be in German or English or with German or English
subtitles.Please include a short synopsis (200 words max.), CV, and
information on the fieldwork and/or production context. No submission fee is
required. Films will be screened without a screening fee.Participation in the
film program requires payment of the conference fee.
