Visual anthropology in the digital mirror: Computer-assisted visual anthropology

http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/dz/layers_nggwun.html

We discuss some of the ways that visual materials have been used in anthropology and how digital technology affect our approaches in some ways more than others. Rather than using hypertext and multimedia as analytic endpoints we introduce an approach which hypertext facilitates, conceived as a hierarchical set of layers at differing levels of abstraction with the analytic article or book at one end, furthest from the field experiences on which it is based.
