The "Visual Anthropology and Media Studies Symposium" offers a unique lens through which to view the impact of television on human behavior and societal structures. While television studies often focus on the "text" or the "industry," this event prioritizes the "viewer" and the "culture." By treating television as a primary artifact of human civilization, researchers at this event will present findings on how televised rituals—from the nightly news to reality TV—shape our collective identity.
The day-long seminar features a series of rapid-fire presentations and plenary sessions designed to facilitate the exchange of industry-relevant data and ethnographic research. We will delve into "the study of television (as) in crisis," examining how different demographics use media to cope with or understand social change. The symposium is particularly focused on "Visual Anthropology," encouraging contributors to use multimedia presentations that go beyond traditional academic papers. It is a space for researchers, scholars, and decision-makers to connect and brainstorm the future of media consumption in an increasingly fragmented digital age.
