This program is a selection of film, video, and phonographic works produced over the last 40 years by artists and anthropologists affiliated with Harvard’s Film Study Center and Sensory Ethnography Lab. Founded in 1957 by filmmaker Robert Gardner, originally as a wing of the Peabody Museum, the FSC supports work that records and interprets the world in images and sounds. The Sensory Ethnography Lab, run by Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Ernst Karel, was established in 2005 with the aim of harnessing perspectives drawn from the sciences, the arts, and the humanities to experiment with innovative combinations of aesthetics and ethnography. Its productions emphasize original nonfiction media practices that explore the bodily praxis and affective fabric of existence. The works selected for this program comprise 7 single-channel films and videos, and 1 hybrid musical/phonographic performance. Styles range from the observational and expository to the expressive and conceptual. Subjects include a lyrical portrait of a Nilotic people who had become a classic of the (discursive) anthropological record; a modernist “city symphony” of the ancient Indian city of Benares; the tension between security and democracy in the vast world of contemporary governmental secrecy; the work of a female clam digger in Maine, USA; the architectural, social, and phenomenological space of the almost anachronistic industrial lunch break at Bath Iron Works, also in Maine; an elegiac portrait of the last shepherds to lead their flocks of sheep up into Montana’s Absaroka-Beartooth mountains for summer pasture; the demolition of a construction site in Sichuan, China; and a sonic ethnography of scientific research environments at Harvard University.
