reflexivity 2
I picked up a book at the library today "Picturing Culture - Explorations of Film and Anthropology" by Jay Ruby...
I have become a little distracted by Anthropology and so have been mooching around in that area online in google scholar and in the physcial library shelves at Swinburne. I can never remember how to spell Pierre Bourdieau's name and so can't find him in the catalogue...
anyway I found this book...Jay writes about Producer - process- product - audience...and the necessity for anthropological works to have a reflexive nature and reveal their authoriship - obviously one might also apply this to communication design...what forms might emerge and what new ways might one look at authoring the visual or material nature of the artefact.
Imagine a comm design practice that looked for transparency and complete enunciation of intentions to be incorporated into the work: what form might that take...
