Sinopse

This book uses visual psychological anthropology to explore trauma, gendered violence, and stigma through a discussion of three ethnographic films set in Indonesia:á40 Years of Silenceá(Lemelson 2009),áBitter Honeyá(Lemelson 2015), andáStanding on the Edgeáof aáThorná(Lemelson 2012). This exploration 'widens the frame' in two senses. First, it offers an integrative analysis that connects the discrete topics and theoretical concerns of each film to crosscutting themes in Indonesian history, society, and culture. Additionally, it sheds light on all that falls outside the literal frame of the screen, including the filmsâÇÖ origins, psychocultural and interpersonal dynamics and constraints of deep, ongoing collaborations in the field, narrative and emotional orientations toward editing, participantsâÇÖ relationship to their screened image, the life of the films after release, and the ethics of each stage of filmmaking. In doing so, the authors widen the frame for psychological anthropology as well, advocating for film as a crucial point of engagement for academic audiences and for translational purposes.Rich with critical insights and reflections on ethnographic filmmaking, this book will appeal to both scholars and students of visual anthropology, psychological anthropology, and ethnographic methods. It also serves as an engrossing companion to three contemporary ethnographic films.
