Cíle předmětu
To introduce students to visual anthropology as a method and as a field of research. Through lectures, screening and peer-based seminar discussions as well as practical assignments, this course provides a broad survey of the major theories, concepts, methods and developments of current approaches to understanding visual experience in Europe and internationally. After considering the shift from art history and film & media studies to a more holistic and interdisciplinary visual culture approach, these themes will be explored through a series of short documentary films and case studies which include practices of looking; cultures of visuality in relations to the other senses; the history of images and so on.
Výstupy z učení
At the end of this course students should be able to: describe the trajectories of visual anthropology as a specific method and as a field of research; critically analyse visual production in anthropology; critically approach to the visual as a bio-socio-cultural experience; produce original works using audiovisual tools for presenting their own research projects.
Osnova
1. Introduction to visual anthropology as an epistemological device. 2. Introduction to visual expressions of bio-socio-cultural experiences. 3. Collective screening and discussion of audiovisual exemples (with curators, producers and directors). 4. Individual or collective production of original works using audiovisual possibilities.

Výukové metody
Lectures (in English) will be developed in a dialogical format, with initial introductions from the course convenors, interventions by the directors/authors of audio-visual works and a final collective discussion. For the elaboration of the final assignment, students will be supervised by lectures and colleagues. In this course, it is possible to work creatively with AI in the process of partial data collection (searching for authors, verifying citations and arguments, consulting research questions, consulting interview questions, consulting possible observation topics etc.) for written assignments (report practice, independent final text, final presentation). Using AI for stylistic and grammatical editing of texts, as well as for graphic assistance with presentations, is permitted. Using AI to generate content for weekly homework (text, audiovisual practice, independent final report, final presentation and layout) is not permitted.
Metody hodnocení
Final audio-visual project (short film or photo essay etc [60%]), with short textual essay describing this project (600 words; [40%]). This should include reference to topic, themes and short bibliography.
