About the Film

Agustín Fuentes has written extensively on many issues that interest biological anthropologists, including evolutionary theory and the biocultural synthesis. One of his research specialties is the study of primates. He is one of the leading figures in the field of ethnoprimatology, which studies the interface of human and ape communities. In this video, Fuentes describes how he got into the study of primates as an anthropology undergraduate and why ethnoprimatology is important in the current global context. One of the useful aspects of this video is how he places his research focus in the broader context of the field of biological anthropology as well as how he describes some of the important background conditions that affect how and why anthropologists study primates. He explains that the field confronts many challenges in the study of human diversity as well as in diversifying the community of scholars who study biological anthropology.

Write a formal analysis of this painting created by Komposition V, Wassily Kandinsky (1911).

Write a formal analysis of this painting created by Komposition V, Wassily Kandinsky (1911). In other words, write about the impact of the image through its Appearance.
Pick any of the elements (color, shapes, lines) and/or any of the principles (balance, hierarchy, contrast) that seem important in the impact of the image and write about their effect on you. Although you may mention aspects of the content or what the images depicts, try NOT to concentrate on that aspect. Instead focus on the feeling that you get from the elements and principles. You might even want to look at the image upside down for a few moments in order to avoid focusing too much on what it shows. Your goal here is to see if you can get a sense of how things like color and shape or balance and hierarchy affect you or have an impact on you or make you feel a certain way when you look at the image. Try to use descriiptive words like calm or frenzied, gentle or intense, rigid or flowing (or even poetry of that works).

In what ways does writing about ethnomusicology compare to how we “do” ethnomusicology?

This week we read about how ethnomusicology is applied in “the field” and the issues of representation in the writing of research. Briefly summarize Feld’s arguments around sound and meaning. In what ways does writing about ethnomusicology compare to how we “do” ethnomusicology? Feel free to use examples from class, readings, or your own experience.
