| Summary: | This chapter discusses visual anthropology and several related research projects. One involves an analysis of historical images to explore the introduction of photography into Tlingit territory and the uses to which early photographs were put. A second uses old photographs of Irish Travellers in interviews with them to elicit their reflections on the dramatic changes (e.g., loss of nomadism) that have occurred in their lives. The chapter then discusses two forays into film: Sharon’s work as co-producer of an ethnographic film about the Tlingit, and both authors’ experiences as subjects in a documentary for Irish television. |
