The ethical and ideological implications of cross-cultural image-making continue to stir debate among anthropologists, film scholars, and museum professionals. This innovative book focuses on the precursors and contexts of ethnographic film from the late nineteenth century to the 1920s, vividly depicting the dynamic visual culture of the period as it collided with the emerging discipline of anthropology and the new technology of motion pictures. Featuring more than 100 illustrations, the book draws upon museums of natural history, world’s fairs, scientific and popular photography, and the early filmmaking efforts of anthropologists and commercial producers to investigate how cinema assumed the role of mediator of cultural difference at the beginning of the twentieth century.
