映像エスノグラフィー研究における作品の行く末―『移動する「家族」』の上映実践を事例に―

抄録

In this article, the author considers the future of visual productions which may be outcomes of research projects that have adopted “visual ethnography” and/or “participatory visual methodologies.” More concretely, the author’s doctoral research project based on visual ethnography methodology, the visual production of “‘Families’ on the move,” created with collaborators, is introduced as a case study. For the purpose of opening dialogue between the ethnographic study and diverse audiences, the author has designed the screening of “‘Families’ on the move” using the concept of a “mobile laboratory.” Instead of watching the film and leaving, the audience remains actively engaged in dialogue after the screening and thus participates in the research. In order to maximize the reach of the “mobile laboratory,” various types of screenings have been hosted for over a year at different locations and, as of April 2019, screenings have been held in 37 places while 819 people have participated. By elaborating on the design and results of the screenings held throughout Japan, the author considers the screening practices using a framework known as “pedagogy of screening.”
