Difference between visual ethnography and enthropology
Answers
Visual anthropology is a subfield of social anthropology that is concerned, in part, with the study and production of ethnographicphotography, film and, since the mid-1990s, new media. More recently it has been used by historians of science and visual culture.[1]Although sometimes wrongly conflated with ethnographic film, Visual Anthropology encompasses much more, including the anthropological study of all visual representations such as dance and other kinds of performance, museums and archiving, all visual arts, and the production and reception of mass media. Histories and analyses of representations from many cultures are part of Visual Anthropology: research topics include sandpaintings, tattoos, sculptures and reliefs, cave paintings, scrimshaw, jewelry, hieroglyphics, paintings and photographs. Also within the province of the subfield are studies of human vision, properties of media, the relationship of visual form and function, and applied, collaborative uses of visual representations
Anthropology is the study of humans and human behaviour and societies in the past and present.[1][2][3] Social anthropology and cultural anthropology[1][2][3] study the norms and values of societies. Linguistic anthropology studies how language affects social life. Biological or physical anthropology[1][2][3] studies the biological development of humans.
Archaeology, which studies past human cultures through investigation of physical evidence, is thought of as a branch of anthropology in the United States,[4] while in Europe, it is viewed as a discipline in its own right or grouped under other related disciplines, such as history.
