The Routledge International Handbook of Ethnographic Film and Video is a state-of-the-art book that encompasses the breadth and depth of the field of ethnographic film and video-based research.

With more and more researchers turning to film and video as key elements of their projects, and

as research video production becomes more practical due to technological advances, as well as

the growing acceptance of video in everyday life, this critical book supports a broad and growing

audience. Readers looking to develop the skills necessary to produce meaningful ethnographic

films and videos will find this book to be a comprehensive resource that will help them better

understand and appreciate the unique ways in which film and video can serve as ways of knowing

and as tools of knowledge mobilization. The second edition introduces 18 new chapters, continuing

the book's overall mission of collecting original writings by the world's leading experts in their

respective fields and subfields, while approximately half of the first edition chapters have been

fully updated with coverage of newer references and more contemporary examples and issues.

The contributors synthesize existing literature; introduce the historical and conceptual dimensions

of the field; illustrate innovative methodologies and techniques; survey traditional and new

technologies; reflect on ethics and moral imperatives; outline ways to work with people, objects,

and tools; and shape the future agenda of the field.

The Handbook provides both a comprehensive introduction and up-to-date survey of the field for a vast variety of audiovisual researchers, such as scholars and students in sociology, anthropology, geography, communication and media studies, education, cultural studies, film studies, visual arts, and related social science and humanities. It will appeal to a multidisciplinary and international audience, and features a dynamic, forward-thinking, innovative, and contemporary focus oriented toward the very latest developments in the field, as well as future possibilities.
