Thank you so so much! Will do!

I have a bachelor's of science in film and have been into anthropology for years. Sadly not able to obtain a degree in it because my schedule won't allow it, but doing something visual that's anthropology related might get my foot in the door lol.

you're great!

Who wouldn't want these kind of simply excellent explanations. Great work Alivia ❤

Hi Alivia! Thank you so much for making these videos- I’ve recently become fascinated with the anthropology field and love learning about its different subgroups… as for visual anthropology, It seems to be more centered around film, but would you say it also involves the fine arts? Art has always been such a major part of my life, so I am considering working in Medical Illustration, but have to admit I love the cultural/historical elements of anthropology too :) I’m currently a high school Junior in the IB program- it would be amazing if you talked about any high school classes, community service, internships, etc. you took to help you find your passion in a future video!

Hi! I am so glad to hear these videos have been helpful for you. I actually did the IB program in High School too (I don't meet a lot of people with this in common so this is incredible). And to answer your question, visual anthropology is absolutely related to the fine arts. While I have not taken any courses explicitly in this ballpark, I believe the fine arts can be analyzed using anthropological methods. Medical illustrations sounds incredible and I am sure anthropology could help facilitate this in some way. I would love to make a video on that! I do have an older video about anthropology work experience that touches on some of these for now if you would like to check it out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/enVso9uKdJOdk6w.html . Thanks so much for commenting!

Hi Alivia, you are my life saver. I am very confusing about my study field and future. I have a bachelor degree in History. And now I am doing MA in Anthropology. I am here watching your vedios and figuring out what I gonna do with my degrees and what carrier I can choose. Thank you for your effort❤

I’m interested in the larger scope of the arts, primarily the origins of art and art through out time for a broader view of arts social/cultural function. Is that still within the field of visual anthropology? Or is it restricted to mediums developed post modernity like film?

Very very helpful ...thank you Alivia..!❣️❣️ I have exams next week ...and this video helped me a lot..!

Hello Alivia! Thank you for the info. May I just ask if Anthropology is the right course to take if I want to learn about languages and restore some books or even paintings? I've searched courses relating to both languages and restorations and it directed me to anthropology and archeology. I'm so confused. What course can you recommend me? By the way, I am a Fine Arts graduate. :D Thank you very much! Have a nice day!

Hi! I definitely do think anthropology would be the right option. History and anthropology (more specifically linguistic anthropology) would offer you what you are looking for I believe. This sounds like such an amazing area of interest! Good luck to you!

@@AliviaBrown can you tell me what is the difference between visual anthropology and anthropology of mass media...it's confusing me

I have a degree in Anthropology, but don't much respect the field. I have a new documentary posted at youtube about the Podhale region in Poland -- music, culture, immigration: "The Podhale - Discovering a Lost Ancestral World." Really, it doesn't matter what you call it. Too many definitions and sub-definitions are restrictive, not liberating. I think that looking at cultures through a kind of fish bowl lens -- or an academic posture -- is the wrong track. Just be human and tell the story of what's in front of you. It doesn't matter what typology anyone assigns it. Any kind of classification system is really kind of a bureaucratic "red tape" to make sure academics have a job.

Hi! Thank you for sharing this perspective, it is not one I hear often on this channel. I completely see what you mean and in some ways, absolutely agree that we should be focused on telling human stories and sharing what is in front of us! Personally (and of course you are welcome to disagree haha) I appreciate how anthropology pushes the story teller to acknowledge their own bias and respect cultures as much as possible. But that's just me!

@@AliviaBrown Thanks for your openness to critique. Also, EVERYONE has biases, the investigator, the storyteller, and everyone else. Question: is there such a thing as a culture that you would NOT respect? If so, therein would lie your own biases and prejudices. I'm merely underscoring here that anthropology -- like so much else -- is infused with its own ideology and sets of prejudices. What's at stake here is, of course, the increasingly popular notion of "cultural relativism." I used to be a Believer, but I've learned over time that everyone has to eventually make a persona stand: you believe in THIS or you believe in THAT. And, therein, by definition, you are "prejudiced." No one can survive in a pure, unbiased state -- frozen in a presumed "objective" spot, petrified like a stone. To pretend to be in that spot is delusion. If you accept cultural relativism, then there is no basis, really, to make any decisions about anything, right? Because there is no Absolute. And "truth" is malleable, culture to culture. In other words, against all this, I'm never going to be ashamed for what I personally "believe." Cultures have asinine parts, including, yes, our own. But to remark that, say, some Third World culture has some lousy aspects is possibly the end of your anthropology career. Increasingly, in our politically correct world, you can't actually voice your own personal "biased" opinion, based on your own life experience, moral convictions, and first-hand knowledge. I am suggesting to you that part of the process of learning, of acquiring knowledge, is to recognize that some things you have been fed -- like anything, including parts of formal "anthropology" -- are not "true." To deny this fact is intellectual and ethical paralysis. The struggle in life is to find your own personal "truth" about anything, yes, but a "truth" by Committee (i.e., the dictates of anthropological convention -- always changing with the times) is really a fake answer. Thanks for reading ...
