“…For this purpose, we used 'visual documentary making' as a collaborative tool with a participatory action research element linking the researcher with the community. Visual methods are useful for their heuristic and collaborative potential (Lapenta 2011), facilitating participants' engagement and promoting dynamic and perpetual dialogue between the researcher and the community (O'Brien et al 2014). Such methods can be expressed under different terms such as collaborative video, community video, or participatory video (Mitchell and Lange 2011).…”

Co-created visual narratives and inclusive place branding: a socially responsible approach to residents’ participation and engagement

This paper discusses the importance of co-created visual narratives in developing participatory and inclusive place branding. We refer to the need for a socially responsible approach when considering place branding policies and practices. For this purpose, we develop and empirically apply a novel framework with four interconnected phases comprising place-based contextualization, re-appreciation, re-positioning, and consolidation of residents' perceptions, experiences and aspirations to develop and initiate inclusive place branding processes. Using participatory research and collaborative visual methods, we worked with a group of residents in Carvalhal de Vermilhas, Portugal. This work stimulated the co-development of collective agency to consider narratives, values and identities to be articulated for creating and promoting more inclusive representation of place in a (hypothetical) branding exercise. The framework application as well as its challenges and limitations, particularly in co-creation processes, were critically deliberated at all phases. Collaborative visual techniques from our analysis emerge as valuable participatory tools for researchers towards improving residents' participation in place branding, and therefore contributing towards a more inclusive form of this practice. However, we are also aware of the perils associated with communities' opening up their pristine heritage to touristic ventures, and hence suggest considering the importance of sustainable place-shaping in all branding decisions.

“…Pivotal to most authors in this special issue is a commitment to collaboration. Different levels and forms of collaboration have been extensively discussed in the field of visual anthropology (Crafton 2004, Battaglia 2012, Elder 1995, Caffé and Hikiji 2012, Ginsburg et al 2002, O'Brian 2014, and we see this diversity also in the projects discussed here. While Dietrich and Ulfe talk about collaborating in bringing to the surface stories that run counter to and challenge hegemonic narratives, and Zirión calls for a collaborative project that can contribute to social change, Flores explores the "complex intercultural interactions" 6 that are often at the core of collaborative projects.…”

The idea of Latin America as an unified geopolitical entity has been called into question (Mignolo 2005), exposing claims for a specific aesthetics and epistemological modality as romantic fetishism in face of the diverse histories of economic, political, social and population developments (Canclini 1995). How can we then justify a special issue in visual anthropology with a focus on the region? What would it show us beyond a sampling of audiovisual anthropological work produced in and about Latin America? Given the dynamic exchange of technical and intellectual expertise between Latin American visual anthropologists and their counterparts across the globe, how could this regional focus contribute to broader discussions in the discipline? These were the questions we asked ourselves when we were invited to organise a panel on the trends of ethnographic filmmaking in Latin America for the 15 th Royal Anthropological Institute Film Festival that took place in Bristol, UK, from 29 March to 1 April 2017. We started from the very broad agenda of examining the intersection between local anthropological work and visualimage production in the region. We ended up, however, with a common denominator, which although it does not encompass all the trends of visual anthropology work in Latin America and is certainly not a prerogative of visual anthropology studies in the region, proved itself to be a constant element that extends beyond the scope of the panel and of this special issue. Visual anthropology from a Latin American perspective is eminently concerned with the political; and it is so because it has been highly influenced not only by certain transnational conversations but, more critically, by local movements of social and political change and resistance. 2 Visual Anthropology has grown exponentially in the last three decades in Latin America with the development of different research and teaching centres within academic institutions in countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and Argentina, expanding to include experimental work made with a wide range of visual media. Our interest here, however, is not to map the teaching and production of visual anthropology in Latin American academic institutions. Rather, our focus is on how visual Visual Anthropology From Latin America: An Introduction Anthrovision, 6.2 | 2018 2.

“…With the objective of collecting sensory discourses , whereby participants directly reflect on their own behavior, I designed a collaborative methodology that provides a first‐person discourse and analysis directly from them. This method, which I called reactivated experience , was inspired by others, such as reactivated listening from urbanist Jean‐François Augoyard (2001), Mics in the Ears developed by anthropologists Vincent Battesti and Nicolas Puig (2016), and videovoice used by sociologist Vincent O'Brien, Dhuffar Manpreet, and Mark D. Griffiths (2014). The sensory discourse this study aims for is composed of an embodied language made of sensations and impressions, and of words, speeches, drawings, and other mediated ways of sharing.…”

Embodied collaborations: Using virtual reality and spatialized sound to share sensible experience

This article proposes to plunge into reactivated experience: a methodology designed to locate and use new paths of mediation to share an embodied and sensorial experiences and discourses. This way of doing collaborative research involves an immersive apparatus which produces images and sounds broadcasted through a virtual reality headset. It plays on the trouble created by these mediations and their in‐motion constitution in order to produce a reflexive discussion about mundane experiences. It is part of a broader research project about how inhabitants of Lyon and Madrid's districts endure heat waves in urban context.
