TL;DRAbstract
The Ethnographer's Eye is conceived as a manifesto. It seeks to establish a new agenda for visual anthropology. My interest is not in arguing for its legitimacy as a subdiscipline with its own specialist interests and methods; rather I suggest that vision is central to modern anthropology whether explicitly foregrounded or not. For an exploration of anthropology's ways of seeing opens up the questions concerning knowledge, technique and form at the heart of the anthropological project itself.
