One-Year Master Programme in Film Ethnography, 60 ECTS-credits

The goal of the programme is to convey competence in theories of visual anthropology combined with a practical proficiency in ethnographic film production.

On successful completion of the courses the student will be able to

• demonstrate advanced knowledge of major paradigms in visual anthropology, ethnographic field methodology and principles of qualitative research
• apply this knowledge in ethnographic film production
• demonstrate knowledge of theories of communication with focus on moving images
• apply theories of representation 
•  identify and apply appropriate audiovisual means and methods of production
• independently conduct an ethnographic film project, and orally as well as in written form analyse their own and other students’ work.

 

The programme consists of six obligatory courses which have to be attended in a specified order. The students will subsequently broaden and deepen their scholarly expertise by studying the acquisition and communication of knowledge (first semester) through the application of audiovisual means of representation (second semester).

 

The teaching mode is flexible, i.e. campus-based instruction is combined with Net-based instruction and supervision. In campus-based instruction, the student participates in lectures, seminars, and group assignments. Net-based instruction means that the lectures and seminars are principally carried out in digital form, with the aid of e-mail, the Internet, and other channels of communication. The language of instruction is English (upon request). All course material will be in English. Some parts of the programme require physical attendance in Falun, Sweden. Entry to the programme is the fall semester.
