Dr. Angela de Souza Torresan (University of Manchester): "Fala Vidigal: The Use of Film in Ethnographic Research in a Rio de Janeiro Favela"
Dr. Angela de Souza Torresan is a Lecturer in Visual Anthropology at the University of Manchester. She did her Masters in Social Anthropology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Museu Nacional (1994) and her PhD in Social Anthroplogy and Visual Media at the University of Manchester (2004). Prior to starting her lectureship appointment in Manchester in 2007 she took a two-year Post-doctoral Research Fellow at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (Prodoc).
Her main ethnographic and theoretical interest lies on processes of emergence, maintenance and revitalization of identities in situations of physical and cognitive movement, and cultural change. She is also interested in the use of film in ethnographic research, as a catalyst of social relationships and an instrument for the development of anthropological knowledge.
