Anthropological Filmmaking Carlo A. Cubero Tallinn Univeristy Abstract: The lecture will focus on how anthropologists have approached cinematic practises and highlight the different ways in which they have dealt with various methodological and epistemological issues pertaining to the use of audiovisuals as a means to produce and present anthropological knowledge. While the talk will be focusing on cinema, the intention is to make connections that highlight a perceived tension between text and non-text. 1.
