MASN

hello, I’m silvio and I was member of MASN’s 5th conference organization (siena, italy, spring 2008) and contributor of MASN’s 6th conference network session on “Borders, Boundaries and Fronteirs” (osilnica, slovenia, summer 2008). My fieldwork was on the practice of anthropological examination in the determination of criminal liability as regard the penal treatment of indigenous people among the Guarani communities of south Brazil (iguape, winter 2010). I addressed attention to the interaction of culture and mental health, in particular the relationship between cultural values and expression of mental illness in a few anthropological examination. I very happy to find again masn’s way! this topic is worthwhile? I hope so

Fourth Edition of ”Contro-Sguardi: International Anthropological Film Festival ”

Theme of the year 2012: ”For a culture of Work”

Perugia (Italy)

CALL FOR VIDEO, PHOTOS, SOUNDS AND PERFORMANCE

(Deadline: 20 February 2012)

The Ass. “Contro-Sguardi”, in collaboration with the Anthropological Section of the Department Man and Environment (Uomo e Territorio) of the University of Perugia (Italy), the city council of Perugia, Informagiovani and the cultural association Macadam, promotes the fourth edition of “Contro-Sguardi: International Anthropological Film Festival”. Theme of the year 2012: “For a culture of work”.

With this call we would like to solicitate the submission of documentary films, fictions, ethnographic, photographic exhibitions, and proposals for theatrical and musical performances related to the topic in question.

Since 2008 the festival, founded to bring together works of anthropological cinema, is open to diverse forms of visual representations. Since last year the festival became biennial, and each edition will concentrate on a specific thematic topic related to socio-cultural dynamics and contemporary societies. Contro-Sguardi 2012 proposes several kinds of differently structured workshops and debate sessions on a broad range of topics related to the “culture of work”. The aim of this theme is to reflect on the crisis of current economic and social models which progressively shrink the spaces of work, especially of young people, with many repercussions for personal and social life. Specifically, with “Culture of Work” we mean the multiplicity of social contexts, anthropological, economic, political and emotional that define work as a practice, knowledge, and existential status of the human being through which it is realized as well for self-determination.

In the awareness of social research, which increasingly requires a dialogical and experimental comparison of new techniques and technologies with their visual productions, “the Festival” opens a Call for video aimed at filmmakers, students, researchers and teachers.

The video participants at the event will be divided into two categories 1) “Competition” divided into “Documentary” and “Fiction”; 2) “Festival”, which will make the text of the regulation Contro-Sguardi festival 2012.

Partecipants at the ”Competition” section are eligible for a award and a short list of selected films will be screen at “Festival do Filme Etnografico do Recife 2012” to be held in Recife in Brazil and Contro-Sguardi is twinned.

Call for photo, sounds and performance

In addition to the videos, we solicit proposals for photo exhibitions, sounds and performance. Ethnographic photos and exhibitions, in relation to different themes, will be exhibited in personal or group exhibition, during the festival in appropriate spaces. The term “sounds” and “performance” refers to audio recordings of various kinds, organic to ethnographic research, and musical and theatrical proposals which are in a critical perspective and reflective the “culture of work”.
