Professor Bennetta Jules-Rosette

Fall 2025

This course will examine in detail the assumptions and techniques involved in the ethnographic recording of field data in written and audiovisual formats. It will juxtapose written, audiovisual, and mediated ethnographies and will critically assess their styles and approaches. You will be required to write an essay contrasting a written ethnography and a film and to develop an independent video project of your own. In so doing, we shall study the essential features of ethnographic and documentary field recording and editing.

WED 3:00-5:50 PM AND TH 2:00-4:20 PM, SSB 101.
