First "issue" to launch Sept. 1. Some ethnographic films available on site currently.

New book on most things considered "digital" and "ethnography" from UT Press.

I know some of you are familiar with this site - some helpful video tutorials on a number of useful software programs, including Final Cut Pro and Photoshop.

Purchased this book last term and found it extremely helpful:

Essential reading for anyone wishing to engage with images, technologies and society, Doing Visual Ethnography is a milestone in ethnographic and visual research. The third edition of this classic text includes new chapters on web-based practices for visual ethnography and the issues surrounding the representation, interpretation and authoring of knowledge with the rise of digital media.

The book provides a foundation for thinking about visual ethnography and introduces the practical and theoretical issues relating to the visual and digital technologies used in the field.

Drawing upon her original research and the experiences of other ethnographers, Sarah Pink once again challenges our understanding of the world and sets new agendas for visual ethnography by:
Helpfully illustrating key concepts within real world contexts
Introducing examples from both analogue and digital media
Exploring material and electronic texts
Setting out the shift towards applied, participatory and public visual scholarship.
This book is a must-have for students and researchers across the social sciences who are interested in incorporating audiovisual media into their research practice.

Oops. Click on the link in the tags section.

I keep intending to pass along this site - folkstreams.net - which has digitized and archived a number of "canonical" ethnographic films. You can watch them for free - check out Salamanders!

This is fascinating. A Kansas State professor encouraged his students to create individual YouTube videos (of themselves) in order to generate different types of creative, self-reflexive, and personal digital "ethnographies." Scroll down the webpage to view individual videos or visit the class's group page on YouTube.

Just testing diigo, but thought this service provided by WalMart(!) was interesting.
