“…concordlibrary.org; see also Earhart, 2009). These works remind us that indigenous studies of place are generally constituted by historical geography, and lie at the intersection of politics, memory, and representation (Bryan, 2011; see also Smith, 2010).…”

In my second report discussing the state of historical geography, I review some of the ways historical geographers have made use of digital technologies and digital media. I also highlight how digital data, research, and presentation are affecting related humanities disciplines and inspiring their practitioners to engage more fully with geographic concepts of space, place, and cartography. I argue that information technologies and digital media can deepen the place of historical geography in the academy and in the public’s eye.

“…As elsewhere, the adoption of new media technologies has brought significant identifiable rewards, including new, highly valued relationships and partnerships with outsiders (see Ginsburg, 1994) and movement into new physical as well as intellectual geographies (Smith, 2010). New media technologies also have helped to move the community in the direction of greater representational sovereignty.…”

“…There can be no doubt that new media technologies give Indigenous Peoples powerful means to destabilize hegemonic stereotypes that circulate in the mass media, assert greater control over processes of representation and fortify their cultures. Simultaneously these technologies serve as important political instruments (see Turner, 1991a;Smith, 2010). Contemporary Indigenous Peoples use media to effect change and assert their rights to achieve autonomy and sovereignty-on their own terms (Raheja, 2010;Wortham, 2013).…”

Thus, while the uptake of new media technologies has not proven to be "the final assault in a Faustian bargain with modernity" (Ginsburg, 1991; see also Turner, 2002a), the instability of the media and the necessary reliance on even the most well-intentioned partners, does in the case of Eténhiri-tipa-Pimentel Barbosa, entail a Faustian element.…”

Toward Representational Sovereignty: Rewards and Challenges of Indigenous Media in the A’uwẽ-Xavante Communities of Eténhiritipa-Pimentel Barbosa

Focusing on the communities of Eténhiritipa-Pimentel Barbosa of eastern Mato Grosso, Brazil, this article considers the tremendous shift that has taken place over the last twenty-five years in A'uwẽ-Xavante peoples' use of audio-visual media to achieve greater representational sovereignty. It discusses the adoption of video in the context of A'uwẽ-Xavante ideologies and gendered patterns of dealing with the outside and their prior use of cassette technology. This case demonstrates that, while the adoption of new media has not proven to be the final assault in a Faustian bargain with modernity, media makers face a number of significant challenges and dilemmas, specifically curating, archiving, and also securing and sustaining financial and technological support. Partnerships and collaborations are essential but their often-precarious nature presents difficulties. Dedication, persistence, creativity and adaptability are assets community members draw upon in responding to challenges. Media makers are increasingly gaining more control and are now training the next generation of youths; young people are using new social media, as well as video and film, to achieve greater representational sovereignty.

The proliferation of video as a research and community development tool has raised questions about relationships of knowledge production, representation, and reception – specifically relationships between participation, technology, ethics, emotion, audience, and power. Seeking to enable empowerment through people's use of storytelling and representation through video, participatory video's emancipatory agenda has come under recent scrutiny. Researchers are exploring how the media logic of technologies shape, limit, and fix what can be represented and how processes of facilitation and group work constrain and enable different outcomes. However, indigenous media discourse, which acknowledges the highly charged intercultural dynamics and colonial continuities associated with the politics of seeing, remains overlooked in Western scholarship and international development practice. As the dissemination of participatory video products into online environments increases, more work is needed to consider the tensions between individual expression, collective action, and unequal access to digital spaces and video technologies. There is also a growing need to consider how participatory video constructs subjectivity and place through attention to institutional context, embodiment, materiality, and spatiality.
