This article focuses on how the anthropological study of media—through an examination of its production, circulation, and consumption—elucidates issues of social organization, political economy, and alternative visions for political futures. By bringing together the studies of visual media, social movements, and hegemonic power by anthropologists and ethnographers of media since the turn of the twenty-first century, this review article provides a critical understanding of research about our current media environment, where scholarship within anthropology is heading in these domains, and what looking at these three fields together can mean for a more robust understanding of our political, social, and cultural futures.

社会运动、权力和中介可见性


本文重点讨论媒体的人类学研究——通过对其生产、流通和消费的考察——如何阐明社会组织、政治经济学和政治未来的替代愿景等问题。通过汇集自二十世纪之交以来媒体人类学家和民族志学者对视觉媒体、社会运动和霸权权力的研究，这篇评论文章提供了对我们当前媒体环境的研究的批判性理解，其中人类学领域的学术研究正在朝着这些领域前进，将这三个领域放在一起研究意味着我们可以更深入地了解我们的政治、社会和文化未来。
