On these grounds, the book covers a large number of films made in a broad range of styles across a 120-year period, from the Arctic to Africa, from the cities of China to rural Vermont.Paul Henley discusses films made within reportage, exotic melodrama and travelogue genres in the period before the Second World War, as well as more conventionally ethnographic films made for academic or state-funded educational purposes. The book explores the work of film-makers such as John Marshall, Asen Balikci, Ian Dunlop and Timothy Asch in the post-war period, considering ideas about authorship developed by Jean Rouch, Robert Gardner and Colin Young.

Al ofrecernos una apreciaci n cr tica del trabajo de Prelor n que se basa en un conocimiento profundo, tanto de las pel culas en s  mismas, como de la literatura relevante y los recursos de archivo del Smithsonian Institution de Washington, este libro de Javier Campo har  una contribuci n invaluable a la historia del cine etnogr fico.Paul Henley University of ManchesterAutor de Beyond Observation: a history of authorship in ethnographic filmDice su autor: Ha sido el cineasta argentino de la mayor filmograf a y m s extendida en el tiempo, desde la d cada de 1960 a la de 1990. Una vida dedicada al registro, realizaci n y difusi n de documentales sobre los otros, marginados y silenciosos. Esto no es una biograf a. O, al menos, no se trata de una biograf a tradicional. Es un an lisis cr tico de los films, ideas y trayectoria de Jorge Prelor n. Naturalmente que he elegido a Prelor n por su obra singular en Argentina, quiz s en Am rica Latina. Pero no dejo de lado una mirada y perspectiva cr ticas.  ...]En el Archivo Prelor n del Smithsonian Institution, adonde el cineasta don  todo lo que ten a un par de a os antes de morir, encontr  una enorme y variada cantidad de materiales: 18 cajas de correspondencia, 12 de documentos de producci n, 3 de proyectos, 2 sobre su trabajo en la University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), 13 de materiales de prensa referidos a  l y su obra, 5 de fotograf as y 4 de su proyecto de colecci n de libros, adem s de sus films. Cada caja contiene alrededor de 250 hojas, es decir que la colecci n del Archivo Prelor n cuenta con 13.000 folios. Estando all  el primer interrogante que me surgi  fue  porqu  alguien guarda todo esto de forma tan ordenada (incluidas las notas de prensa)? Revisando esos materiales me encontr  con una recurrencia: la voluntad de ser recordado, de dejar una obra.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51269648187665,"sku":"NIN9789874474261","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9874474262.jpg?v=1750872084"},{"product_id":"beyond-observation-book-paul-henley-9781526131348","title":"Beyond observation","description":"Beyond Observation is structured by the argument that the 'ethnographicness' of a film should not be determined by the fact that it is about an exotic culture - the popular view - nor because it has apparently not been authored - a long-standing academic view - but rather because it adheres to the norms of ethnographic practice more generally.
