Having spent several decades trying to eliminate the unself-conscious "colonial gaze" characteristic of so many early ethnographic films, visual anthropologists from the industrialized West who study indigenous cultures are presently struggling with an even more profound transformation of their discipline. ███████ ███████████ █████ █████████ ██ ███ █████████ ██████████ ███ ██████ ████ ██████████ ███████ ███ ████ ████ ████████ ██ ███ ███████ ██████████████ ██████ ████ █████ ██ ████████ █████ ███ █████████ ████████ ██ ████ ██████████ ██████ ███████ ███████████████ ███████ ██ ███████ ████████
Potential problem ·
Indigenous peoples are documenting their own cultures using video equipment
Will this bring back something similar to the "colonial gaze" that plagued early ethnographic films?

Weiner's perspective ·
Video technology spreads Western values and damages indigenous cultural identity

Ginsburg's perspective ·
Indigenous people can use Western media without being dominated by Western culture
Although using Western objects will have an effect on culture, that doesn't mean using cameras will automatically turn indigenous people into Westerners. Cameras can even benefit indigenous cultures by strengthening native languages and traditions.
