Ethnography/participant observation films - a list
Dear all,
As promised, here is a compilation of the huge range of ethnography films suggested to me (with some cut and pasting from emails to me):
Jane Dyson’s Lifelines: ▻http://www.lifelinesfilm.com/about
Jon Anderson’s qualitative methodology podcasts, including one on ethnography:
▻http://www.spatialmanifesto.com/methodology-projects/qualitative-methods-podcasts
Judith Butler’s Examined Life film (which I love and show at another point in my module) ▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0HZaPkF6qE
Kate Hardy’s work on the UK stripping industry where they get dancers to comment in a form of dual-ethnography (researcher and auto-ethnography) about the physical layout of the strip club and the meanings of the images that dancers themselves selected. ▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPqIhWD8UQk
The Visual Sociology BSA study group website: ▻http://visualsociology.org.uk/resources/index.php
Sage Publication’s Methodspace, for example, ▻http://www.methodspace.com/video/video/search?q=ethnography
Lots of recommendations for Kitchen Stories (▻http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0323872, ▻http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_Stories, ▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAch_CwKyjI
) and a review Wulff, D., George, S. S., Harper-Jaques, S., & Jaques, L. Kitchen Stories: A Review. (2012). The Qualitative Report 17, Review #19, 1-10▻http://www.nova.edu/ssss/QR/QR17/wulff.pdfAnd lots too for WH Whyte’s “The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces” - there’s lots of version on YouTube (▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcoVuoHnGBE
) and also lots of other, shorter films based on it.And a short film on a ’walking contest’ ▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfxHLYo47Eg
“Into the Field” by Alyssa Grossman is an excellent film about nuns in rural Romania (I know not ’western’ or urban), but it’s great because it has a meta-commentary on fieldwork practices (ethics, emotion, etc.) that runs parallel to the ’story’ of the film.
Jean Rouch’s La pyramide humaine -The Human Pyramid- (1961) is a brilliant example of a “shared ethnography”, the observation, the experience of the subjects projected outward, not only sharing the research process but also involving them in its creation.
Thanks so much to everyone who sent me ideas - I’ve yet to really look at them all and decide what to use, but there’s so many different ideas here - thank you!
I hope this list is helpful for others too - and I’d of course be interested in any other suggestions...
Best wishes,
Alison
