Visualizing Theory
is a lavishly illustrated collection of provocative essays, occasional pieces, and dialogues that first appeared in
Visual Anthropology Review
between 1990 and 1994. It contains contributions from anthropologists, from cultural, literary and film critics and from image makers themselves. Reclaiming visual anthropology as a space for the critical representation of visual culture from the naive realist and exoticist inclinations that have beleaguered practitioners' efforts to date,
is a major intervention into this growing field.
