Jay Ruby, a visual anthropologist and somewhat of an anti-establishmentarian, shared this link recently to an article in the New York Times that intelligently discusses the blurring of genres between fiction and documentary film making. Ruby laments that too few anthropologists have experimented with this form.

This week I’m asking you to read some material that will help to contextualize two streams of work that will be useful for our intermedia inquiry:
Please read the following articles for our class on September 8th.
You can download them as a zipped file here: 19 mb zipped folder
For the September 8th class we’ll also be explicitly discussing the “Market from Here” installation (from our first readings, Calzadilla and Marcus conversation). Please also bring materials and proposals for you intermedia project.
Also, please go to the Tumblr.com website and register for an account. We’ll talk about this in class but it would be great if you’d all already figured out a little bit about it and maybe given it a little trial run.
