TRANSITING FROM PERCEPTION TO DOCUMENT (FUNCTIONAL AND GENETIC STRUCTURE OF VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY MEDIUM)
The article consists of three interrelated parts. The first one establishes promising visual anthropology’s future in light of expanding anthropological theory. The second part defines the functioning of visual anthropology and emphasizes the creation of pointed specific screen materials – a medium between specified culture and viewing public. Moral responsibility seems the important attribute that determines a very visual-anthropology function during all stages. The third part attempts to reveal connections between the structure of visual messages regarding anthropology substance and general modern worldview.
Keywords: Visual Anthropology, documentary film, moral responsibility of anthropologist, cultures’ dialog
