The Image Mirrored: Reflexivity and the Documentary Film.

Abstract

To be ideologically consistent, I should and will now situate my thoughts within my own history, in other words, be reflexive about my ideas of reflexivity. In the process of organizing the 1974 Conference on Visual Anthropology, I organized a series of screenings and discussions entitled Exposing Yourself. The panelists?Sol Worth, Gerry O'Grady, Bob Sch?lte, Richard Chalfen and myself?discussed a group of autobiograph ical, self-referential and self-consciously made films in terms of a variety of concerns within visual communication and anthropology. Some of those films and ideas have formed the basis for my discussion here.
