Jean Rouch: The Enfant Terrible of the Anthropology of Film

Summary/Abstract: The field of anthropology continues to be dominated by an approach that focuses on the spoken or written word. The filmmaker and anthropologist Jean Rouch is one of the few who have worked comfortably with both film and the (spoken and written) word. Sikora presents Rouch’s method and working style mostly by looking closely at his key film, Moi, un Noir (1958). Rouch is presented as a pioneer not only of shared anthropology, but also of the method in which the creation of anthropological knowledge (film) becomes a tool supporting the process of constructing a (new) subjectivity and of transgressing the colonial relationship. Oumarou Ganda, the film’s protagonist, would become a groundbreaking African film director.
