"¿Why are you taking my picture?": navigating the cultural context of visual procurement
Interesantísimo paper presentado al Epic 2006 (Ethnographic Praxis in Industry Conference) sobre una mala experiencia y las consideraciones que surgieron alrededor de una etnografía visual realizada por unos antropólogos contratados por Intel en el Cairo.
Antes de meterse en el desmadre, el ensayo inicia sus reflexiones con la tajante cita:
“There is a tribe, known as the ethnographic filmmakers, who believe they are
invisible. They enter a room where a feast is being celebrated, or the sick cured, or
the dead mourned, and though weighted down with odd machines entangled in
wires, imagine they are unnoticedor, at most, merely glanced at, quickly ignored,
later forgotten” (Weinberger 1994:3).

This paper explores how methods used to procure ethnographic visuals transition between different cultural histories and varying visual vocabularies. We use an instance during which we were detained (and the police summoned) after taking photos of an apartment building in Cairo to illustrate how these transitions can lead to unexpected and serious consequences with which ethnographers must grapple. We argue that considering factors such as geo-political context, notions of giving and receiving, boundaries between private and public, as well as a culture's historical relationship with photographic and documentary processes, are all essential to developing a critical position on visual procurement in the field.
