Title : Ethnographic film as cosmopolitan product
Description :
In this presentation we reflect on ethnographic filmmaking as cosmopolitan process and product. We will discuss two films created within the MobileDeaf research team (https://mobiledeaf.org.uk): as a part of its research and dissemination, the European Research Council-funded (2017-2023) MobileDeaf research team is producing ethnographic films focusing on international deaf mobilities. The MobileDeaf films explore international deaf encounters in Indonesia, Brazil, Kenya, France, Denmark, the UK and Italy. The researchers, their research assistants, the film editors and the camera crew involved in the project are deaf signers from various countries, leading to a unique moment where the precepts of deaf ethnographic filmmaking are emerging in a multilingual and transnational context. The use of International Sign, itself a context-based collaborative multilingual phenomenon, is instrumental in the MobileDeaf filmmaking processes. The encounters between deaf protagonists, researchers and filmmakers with diverse privileges and lack thereof resulted in approaches to ethnographic filmmaking that explore but also critically interrogate deaf cosmopolitanism.
