Anthrovision, vol. 8.1

Abstract

Interactive documentary are epistemological tools that can help shaping and fostering comparative reflections in collaborative ethnographic projects. This paper analyses the process of planning and coding a digital platform – an interactive documentary – as part of my work in the Food Citizens? ERC Project. I will consider images and lines of codes that exemplify how making the digital platform mediate the processes of comparison and collaboration. Specifically, I discuss how the process that guided the i-doc coding comprised of collaborative sessions by the research team members to make an inventory of possible comparisons between field sites, while a bespoken comparison dial makes it possible for the users to digitally browse through them.
