Minding the Gap: The Use of Artistic Methods in Anthropological Research. A Critical Reading of Marcus

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents an overview of several artistic approaches used within anthropological research in order to question a claim made by George Marcus. Marcus stated that visual experiments, due to their aesthetic elements, were not used in anthropology.In a collaborative work with the artist, scenographer and artist of the theatre, Fernando Calzadilla, Marcus remarked that, although anthropology after the 1980s lost its firm scientific ground, anthropologists did not use possible artistic tools (such as visual experiments) for its plausible and legitimate completion. This paper aims to critically discuss his claims through an analysis of several anthropological interdisciplinary works, looking at how anthropologists combine their methods of research with artistic techniques.
