The book proposes a model of collective aesthetics and collaborative filmmaking, going beyond the straightforward representation of reality that is so prevalent in visual anthropology and film studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book explores the practices of filmmakers who utilise sensory collaborative approaches to convey diversity of knowledge. It affirms that the more we allow cinema to infuse audio-visual transmissions of reality, the more we might be able to experience the evoked reality. The book proposes a dialogic journey, inviting the reader to pause during the reading of the book to watch some of the author's films, which exemplify the discussed theories and practices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis innovative work from a practising filmmaker and visual anthropologist invites us to rethink how our cinematic practices, rather than aiming at factual representation and description, might instead contribute to a collaborative understanding of intercultural dialogue and shared knowledge. For those interested in visual anthropology, documentary film or broader questions about the nature of art and representation, Cinematic ethnography is a thought-provoking invitation to see - and tell - things differently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurent Van Lancker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526198290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526198297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Laurent Van Lancker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48089484034303,"sku":"9781526198297","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bde0dbd-c566-48dd-87fb-76f5e9ef0490.jpg?v=1769110548","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cinematic-ethnography-laurent-van-lancker-9781526198297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
