We have spent the semester viewing a series of films from an anthropological perspective and
discussing how films can be used in the study of culture. Your final writing assignment for this semester
is to write a three to four-page paper in which you explain the importance of film for the field of
anthropology.
Why is film an important medium for anthropology? What are some of the ways in which anthropology
can use film in the study of society and culture? In what ways is film a valuable resource for the study of
society and culture?
In addressing this topic refer to at least three of the films we have watched this semester in order to
illustrate and re-enforce your ideas, and draw on at least three of the course readings you’ve done as
well.
Create a well-organized and carefully argued essay in which you state what you believe the important
connections between film and the anthropological study of society and culture to be.
Please follow the writing format instructions in the syllabus in the section on Students’ Written Work,
and submit your paper through Blackboard as a word.doc or a pdf as you’ve done for the other
assignments.
