If you are intrigued by the possibilities for a visual anthropology, visit the following sites and pages for further information.
Visual Anthropology Links
These links are good starting points for learning about the growing field of visual anthropology. Visual anthropology was historically marginalized in the field, but anthropologists are now increasingly recognizing the importance of extending the analytic tools of anthropology to visual systems of meaning.- Ur-List: Web Resources for Visual Anthropology
- The Ur-List: Web Resources for Visual Anthropology facilitates web
searches by cross-indexing three hundred and seventy-five anthropological
sites according to the categories of information they contain. The Ur-List's
cross-index is more accurate than most Web-resource guides which typically
reduce a site's multifaceted content to only one category. In the Ur-List,
sites may be accessed according to the twenty-two subject-categories
listed above. Multifaceted sites are cross-referenced under all appropriate
categories.
