 rovisation of Future Scenarios in Ethnographic Film

DESCRIPTION:The talk will draw on the findings from ethnographic fieldwor
 k research and film-making in Yorkshire\, to suggest how ethno science f
 iction can be used as an ethnographic method by combining participatory 
 video with applied theatre. Ethno science fiction is a development of th
 e ethnofiction of pioneering visual anthropologist Jean Rouch. While eth
 nofiction draws on projective improvisation as an ethnographic film meth
 od to explore past and present experiences of ethnographic significance 
 through co-creative expression and reflexivity\, ethno science fiction i
 s exclusively concerned with the uncertainty of the future. The film met
 hod refers to the popular film and literary genre to indicate the impact
  the process of imagining an uncertain future has on present experience 
 and how the imagined narratives of the ethno science fiction can influen
 ce the creation of strategies for the future.\n\nI will suggest how ethn
 o science fiction can explore the process of anticipation\, hope and fea
 r in relation to uncertainties of the future including environmental thr
 eats in the everyday life of British youth. 'Science' has an additional 
 meaning in this context since scientists are predicting the long-term co
 nsequences of climate change with increased accuracy. The imagined narra
 tives of the future scenarios are thus generated in the tension between 
 the personal imagination of the participants and the predictions of the 
 scientists.\n\nThis seminar is presented by Dr Jonannes Sjoberg. Johanne
 s is a lecturer in Screen Studies in Drama at the University of Manchest
 er\, specialising in screen practice.\n\nBooking is essential via https:
