Visual Anthropology Review Journal

As the journal of the Society for Visual Anthropology, Visual Anthropology Review (VAR) promotes the discussion of visual studies, broadly conceived. Within its breadth, visual anthropology includes both the study of visual aspects of cultural lives and experience, and the use of visual techniques and technologies in anthropological research, representation and teaching. The journal also highlights innovative forms of ethnographic production and anthropological practice that explore the potentialities of sensory scholarship.

The journal welcomes articles, reviews and commentary on the use of multimedia, still photography, film, video and non-camera generated images, as well as on visual ideologies, Indigenous media, applied anthropology, art practice, dance, architecture and material culture. Access to Visual Anthropology Review is part of membership in SVA.

Stay tuned for the SPRING 2020 issue, due out soon, where you will be able to see the journal's exciting new re-design.
