Images, Senses and Applications: Engaging Visual Anthropology
Visual Anthropology, 2011Co-Authors: Sarah PinkAbstract:In this article I discuss how visual Anthropology methods are advancing in a present-day environment where applied, activist, public and interdisciplinary anthropologies are increasingly central. In earlier work [Pink 2004, 2006, 2007a] I outlined the field of an applied visual Anthropology, and discussed the potential of visual methods and media in the production of a public Anthropology [Pink 2006]. Here I build on this to suggest how recent visual Anthropology practices might both contribute to and resolve issues relating to contemporary debates in applied and public Anthropology and the relationship between scholarly research and social intervention.

The future of sensory Anthropology/the Anthropology of the senses
Social Anthropology, 2010Co-Authors: Sarah PinkAbstract:A focus on the senses has become a key theme in contemporary Anthropology. In this short piece I suggest that this focus can be understood in terms of two strands, the original Anthropology of the senses on the one hand, and the newer sensory Anthropology on the other. Given the recent rapid development of interest in this field, an assessment of its status and speculation about its future is now rather timely. A sensory Anthropology implies a ‘re-thought’ Anthropology, informed by theories of sensory perception, rather than a sub-discipline exclusively or empirically about the senses. Rather like the cumulative ‘re-thinkings’ of Anthropology over the last decades this adds to the discipline having become (albeit unevenly) reflexive, gendered, embodied and visual, while rejecting ‘traditional’ forms of cross-cultural comparison, and disassociating the relationship between culture and place. Notably these rethinkings have parallels across cognate disciplines and indeed bring the research and theoretical commitments of anthropologists closer to those of some geographers and sociologists. Anthropologists are increasingly attending to arts and media practices and are engaging more closely with public and applied roles. While the former shifts enable anthropologists to re-think the discipline with other anthropologists, all of these moves encourage interdisciplinary collaborations. A contemporary sensory Anthropology is thus inevitably intertwined with the lasting residues of these other revisions and the connections they forge in interdisciplinary fields. Sensory Anthropology both has its roots in and departs from the anthropological study of sensory perception and categories that characterises the Anthropology of the senses. While the former engages directly across disciplines, the latter is more specialised. While in some contexts it has great potential, it has fewer possibilities. Some of which include providing examples that contest the universality of modern western categories or as part of interdisciplinary research that shares a focus on the senses as its object of study. Indeed, the Anthropology of the senses informed by the principles outlined above would be subsumed as part of sensory Anthropology. What then might be the future of sensory Anthropology? Below I outline two possible areas of influence – as part of interdisciplinary scholarship and as a leading approach to innovative interdisciplinary ethnography. Sensory Anthropology is essentially an interdisciplinary approach. It is dependent on other disciplines for its foundational ideas. This signifies one of its departures from the Anthropology of the senses. Philosophical principles are influential in understanding

The Future of Visual Anthropology
Social Anthropology, 2006Co-Authors: Sarah Pink, Gabriela BoangiuAbstract:From an eminent author in the field, The Future of Visual Anthropology develops a new approach to visual Anthropology and presents a groundbreaking examination of developments within the field and the way forward for the subdiscipline in the twenty-first century. The explosion of visual media in recent years has generated a wide range of visual and digital technologies which have transformed visual research and analysis. The result is an exciting new interdisciplinary approach of great potential influence for the future of social/cultural Anthropology. Sarah Pink argues that this potential can be harnessed by engaging visual Anthropology with its wider contexts, including: the increasing use of visual research methods across the social sciences and humanities the growth in popularity of the visual as methodology and object of analysis within mainstream Anthropology and applied Anthropology the growing interest in 'Anthropology of the senses' and media Anthropology the development of new visual technologies that allow anthropologists to work in new ways. This book has immense interdisciplinary potential, and is essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners of visual Anthropology, media Anthropology, visual cultural studies, media studies and sociology.

Practicing Anthropology in Portugal
NAPA bulletin, 2006Co-Authors: Ana Isabel AfonsoAbstract:The rise of Anthropology in Portugal is examined within the framework of several cycles of development. The chapter discusses how the consolidation of Anthropology at university level was the main focus until the 90’s. Applied Anthropology, as distinctive from academic anthro- pology received very little attention. Consequently, there was an absence of an institutional- ization of applied Anthropology in the country. Nowadays, however, two main trends converge that supports the growth of applied Anthropology and is providing work for anthropologists outside academia. First, Anthropology departments in Portugal have stabilized their staff quo- tas resulting in very few positions open for anthropologists at the university level. Second, global changes are impacting the social framework of the country and, consequently, opening up new horizons of research and practice for social scientists. Several examples of these oppor- tunities are discussed which is creating an optimism about the various niches for new and rel- evant anthropological practices.

alternative histories of british social Anthropology
Social Anthropology, 2005Co-Authors: Adam KuperAbstract:Thinking about the future, we are obliged to rethink conventional accounts of our history. Alternative histories challenge received ideas about the development of British social Anthropology. Some have put in question the precise nature of the Malinowskian revolution. Others reopen debates about the relationship between Anthropology and colonialism (or, more broadly, about the relevance of social Anthropology to policy questions). And the oral tradition insistently reminds us that private histories may undermine what we think we know about the great figures of the past. As we consider the prospects for European social Anthropology, other questions impose themselves. One has to do with the institutional rivalries between social Anthropology and sociology, and between social Anthropology conceived of as a social science and the cultural Anthropology dominant in the United States.
