(Lecture in German)

In our sixth Cinepoetics Lecture, media scholar Erhard Schüttpelz (University of Siegen) will present his work on ethnographic film. Being an expert in poscolonial theory, his talk "Mai 1968 und die Umkehrung des ethnographischen Blicks" focuses on the oeuvre of Jean Rouch. This director, Schüttpelz claims, has been one of the most consequent thinkers of a possible inversion of the colonial gaze.
