Bak lerretet: antropologer jobber med film.
Vis sammendrag
Film og bilder har alltid vært et viktig redskap for antropologer: Som dokumentasjon og til formidling. Utstillingen Bak lerretet vil vise noen måter ulike antropologer har jobbet med film på og tar utgangspunkt i sju antropologer som enten selv har filmet eller har samarbeidet med filmskapere i Skandinavia de siste 30 årene.
Filmene som blir presentert omfatter tv-sendte foredrag, tv-dokumentarer, klassiske etnografiske filmer og film som forskingsverktøy og i undervisningsøyemed. Utstillingen tar også for seg hvordan antropologisk film blir oppbevart og gjort tilgjengelig for publikum, blant annet via Universitetsbiblioteket i Oslo som har en omfattende samling etnografisk film til utlån.
Utstillingen fokuserer på den materielle siden ved det å lage film – fra ideen blir unnfanget, til perioden med aktiv filming, til redigeringsarbeidet, til hvordan filmer blir oppbevart og tilgjengeliggjort via ulike medier – og viser gjenstander og fotografier assosiert med disse prosessene: Blant annet ulike kameratyper som har blitt brukt, utdrag fra dagbøker og manuskripter, stillbilder fra filmingen og andre gjenstander assosiert med filmene. I tillegg vil
utvalgte filmer bli vist, både i stort format og på mindre skjermer.
Antropologene og filmskaperne som presenteres i utstillingen er Stig Holmqvist, Aud Talle, Arve Sørum, Frode Storås, Rosella Ragazzi, Jan K. Simonsen, Peter Crawford, Fredrik Barth og Ebbe Ording.

Unfinished Dialogues:
Notes towards an Alternative History of Art and Anthropology
Arnd Schneider (University of Oslo)
Rather than providing a survey history of the anthropology of art, this paper charts the relationship between disciplines of art (visual arts in the widest sense), art criticism and art history, and anthropology.
A particular emphasis is placed on practices of appropriation of other cultures in the different disciplines, as well as their relationship with each other. Paradigmatic figures which have crossed boundaries and gone beyond accepted frames will be explored. Amongst these are, Aby Warburg’s interpretation of snake rituals he observed among Native Americans in the South Western US, Alfred Court Haddon’s early film recordings, Robert Redfield’s and Margaret Park Redfield’s collaboration with the journal Mexican Folkways and the photographer Tina Modotti, Michel Leiris’s participation in the surrealist movement, Julius Lips’s early work on representation of the west in non-western art (The savage hits back), Maya Deren’s ethnographic and film work in Haiti, as well as classic innovators of the subject in anthropology, such as Franz Boas, and more recently, Alfred Gell.
The paper makes strong case for the review of past promises and failures of interdisciplinary crossings between art and anthropology, in order to chart possibilities of dialogue in the future.

Appropriation Reconsidered:
Future Prospects of a Complex Concept in Art
Arnd Schneider, Professor, Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo
Urban-based visual artists in different parts of the world appropriate from indigenous cultures, employing a variety of strategies, and professing a variety of motifs for their work (ranging from the revalorization of indigenous pasts and the construction of new identities, to collaborations with indigenous communities, and reflexive critiques of anthropological practices). Appropriating strategies and tactics are always part of moral systems and recent writing has addressed the complex ethical issues involved. Moreover, recent advances in the theorization of agency and materiality offer the prospect to understand the specific dynamics of appropriation, regarding both nature of the agents and the materials involved. More generally, the question is asked of how the analysis of appropriation in the visual arts can contribute to an understanding of the processes of cultural differentiation in a globalizing world.

Abstract
Contested Grounds:
Appropriation and Performance in Collaborations with Artists in Argentina
Arnd Schneider, University of Oslo
Every year the inhabitants of the village of Santa Ana, Argentina, celebrate their patron saint on 26 July. This project involved collaboration with contemporary visual artists from the nearby provincial capital, Corrientes, making a series of hybrid ‘works’ between art and anthropology. This included material participation in (rather than ‘observation’ of) the performance of the procession, i.e. the making of a new dress for the saint’s statue, the production of a video, and fieldnotes.
The appropriation of and material intervention into a setting of popular religiosity raises questions about the epistemological status of art - anthropology collaborations as hybrid knowledge productions.

Expanded Visions:
Rethinking Anthropological Research and Representation trough Experimental Film and Other Experiments with Vision in Contemporary Art (e.g. Op-Art)
Arnd Schneider, Professor, Institute of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo, Norway.
This paper reviews critically of experimental film-making, as well as experiments with vision and perception in the contemporary arts (e.g. op-art), and explores their possible relevance for anthropological practices of research and representation.
Whilst the ‘filmic metaphor of montage’ has been discussed to some degree in relation to ethnographic practice (Marcus), visual anthropology/ethnographic cinema (e.g. Grimshaw), and phenomenologically inflected ethnographic writing (e.g. Willerslev), experimental cinema (particularly in its 1970s version of so-called ‘structuralist’ or ‘materialist’ film) poses a set of altogether more radical challenges which fundamentally interrogate the ‘material’ processes of perception, vision and subsequent conditions for the processes of representation. In the case of experimental film, as pre-digital analogue celluloid film of the 1970s this involved mostly non-narrative film reflecting on the material conditions of the film-making process itself and the apparatus involved (film material, camera, projector, screen), in order to make the viewer aware of the artificial production of the filmic process and its material specifics (e.g. celluloid material which through chemical process is made optically sensitive, the ratio of 24 images per second, the habitual compression of ‘real’ time in narrative cinema, the single screen as the dominant feature in narrative cinema etc.).
Similar to what has been done with the concept of ‘montage’ (which, after experimental beginnings), is now a feature of mainstream narrative, or as experimental film-makers have it ‘illusionist’ cinema), the aim of this paper is to explore the conceptual and theoretical potential of experimental film-making and experiments with vision/perception in the arts, for anthropology.

The aim of the seminar is to reveal the bridges between the two disciplines of art and anthropology, and to show the different ways practitioners from these fields work with ethnography, fieldwork and the arts. Ethics, aesthetics and methodology will be central themes.
