Accepted Paper:

Mine eyes  
Lia Philcox (Goldsmiths College, University of London)

Paper short abstract:

An audio-visual critique of the visual representation of anthropological knowledge, its status as objective expertise, and the context of its viewing in museums and on film.

Paper long abstract:

Made for the MA Visual Anthropology at Goldsmiths. Cut from ethnographic films, Mine Eyes demonstrates how documentary filmmakers subjectively shape representations of the Other, how the camera's presence provokes performance and alters the field of study. Thus the film raises questions of authenticity and truth, as well as offering glimpses of a multitude of cultures. The film was originally part of an interactive installation.
