Ethnographic film as world-making: Connecting visual anthropology with Science and Technology Studies

Autor(en)

Sanderien Verstappen, Sarah Davies

Abstrakt

This article initiates a dialogue between Science and Technology Studies (STS) and visual anthropology. It demonstrates how ethnographic filmmaking can be an avenue for STS research, teaching, and thinking. Highlighting similarities between knowledge practices in the natural sciences and the social sciences, it conceptualizes filmmaking as a world-making project. This is a new answer to the persistent question of how to understand the use of film as a research method. Our argument is based on a collection of short films made during an interdisciplinary course which explored the potential of ethnographic filmmaking for investigating the day-to-day doings of science and technology
