B.A.T.A.M: An Ethnographic Film Produced by Johan Lindquist

"B.A.T.A.M" is an ethnographic magazine film produced by Johan Lindquist. I will introduce the story of two women living in Batam Island in Indonesia. Wati was one of the main participants in the interview and was a factory worker of a young lady. Another major player, Dewi from Java, worked at an electronics factory and now works as a prostitute.

Ethnographic magazine films play a central role in related fields such as visual anthropology and folk musicism and ethnographic magazine. Although the early ethnographic film (for centuries) was targeted by a number of popular audiences (the first ethnographic magazine film was produced in 1901), the film was written in an early 1940's ethnographic magazine It was used only as part of an intensive study.

In collaboration with ethnographic filmmaker Tim Asch, Chagnon produced at least 40 films on Jano mamo culture, including The Feast (1969), Magical Death (1973) and The Ax Fight (1975). These movies, especially The Ax Fight, are widely used in anthropology and visual culture courses and are considered one of the most important ethnographic magazine films in history.

Ethnographic magazines straddle the boundary between academic anthropology, art history and mass media. In this course we will explore the building of meanings related to anthropological parallelism in ethnographic magazine films. The course focuses on individual movies and analyzes their importance from the viewpoint of filmmakers and viewers. In this course we will discuss various ways of film art, the relationship between other visual media and ethnographic expression, and the challenges posed by these traditional texts. The course attracts not only anthropology and movie research but also other people who are interested in international research and intercultural representative politics.
