47. Claiming Agency: Thinking critical with and about (Audio-)Vis- ual Sovereignty - Counter Visuality - Collaborative Visuality

(Workshop)

Cathrine Bublatzky and Thomas John

Working Group Visual Anthropology

Ongoing discourses about (Audio-)Visual Anthropology (Nichols 1991; Minh-ha 1992) and its research including filmmaking, participatory/shared cinema, photography or (audio-)visual representations demonstrate a challenging diversity of knowledge production and its contestation. Of central interest is therefore discussing the potential of new approaches and research models that address and question non-transparent knowledge production, asymmetrical forms of representation

or one-dimensional cultural mediation. With a critical reflection on agency and autonomy, this panel invites contributions on experimental, collaborative and co-productive research projects that situate (Audio-)Visual Anthropology at the intersection of contesting knowledge and its production. How can decolonial, participatory, activist or collaborative research look like?; How fruitful can the co-production of knowledge and its representation be, to whom, when, why?

While recognizing the interdisciplinary potential (in Anthropology and beyond), we understand the (audio-)visual to be significant in discourses concerned with analysing asymmetrical power relations and global inequalities associated with the crisis of representation and contested knowledge production. Thus, conceptual approaches such as visual sovereignty, counter visuality, epistemic disobedience, collaborative visuality as practices deserve critical reflection, especially when new situations of political contestation and charged cultural concepts (e.g. identity, gender, "race") develop in (audio-)visual and media cultures.

Possible themes:

• indigenous or activist (audio-)visual knowledge production

• visual documentation-, co-creation, collaboration (film, photography, websites, installations, performances, labs,..)

• class, gender, race, religion and the dilemma of non/hegemonic visual representation

• (de)coloniality and the crisis of representation

• (audio-)visual ethnography in times of crisis (war, revolution, climate

change,..)
