- Title
FILM AS COMRADE-IN-ARMS: IMAGE, DRAMA, AND IDENTITY IN THE HÃ-HÃ-HÃE STRUGGLE FOR RECOGNITION.
- Authors
Zoettl, Peter Anton
- Abstract
The article reflects on the relation of drama, image, and anthropological "writing" from a visual anthropological perspective, based on the case of the Hã-Hã-Hãe indigenous people from northeastern Brazil and the production of a short participatory video documentary in support of the Hã-Hã-Hãe's case. Drama is discussed as a genre that provides the basis not only for the filmic representation of the Hã-Hã-Hãe's struggle for recognition but also for the public negotiation of the Indians' story and the social drama of which they are a part. Due to the nature of the subject, the article is presented as a work in progress, tracing the author's engagement with a continuously developing narrative and seeking to give an account of the fragmentary and event-oriented nature of ethnographic representation.
