Discussion Question Feb 27th

1)      Do you believe it is  possible to understand film(s) created by another culture without a pre-existing understanding of that cultures norms and values?

2)      In what way has the introduction and use of film, diminished the social and cultural significance of history and memory amongst indigenous and Third World people? Do you think that it has diminished social and cultural significance amongst peoples in the Western world?

 

3)      Although we are able to obtain more information, subjectively, through the analysis of an image as opposed to reading a text, is it possible to fully understand an issue based on televisualist anthropology?
