Overview
Key facts
Urban anthropology has fascinated journalists, photographers and policy-makers since the emergence of the Chicago School in the 1920s. Ethnography and long-term research facilitated deeper insights into the everyday lives of urban neighbourhoods that were often associated with violence, crime and housing problems.
Cinema and photography have also, since their inception, engaged with the urban, and their development is deeply entwined with that of the modern metropolis.On this course you'll study a range of documentaries on the city, from the city symphonies of the 1920s to the video diaries of Jonas Mekas in New York and James Benning's style of 'Slow Cinema' in Los Angeles.
University College London (UCL) offers the Visual Anthropology and the City programme.
