Election as Ceremony: Politics and the Art of Transformational Dialogue
Election as Ceremony: Politics and the Art of Transformational Dialogue explores the parallels between ensemble theater practice and political campaigns. I examine established comparisons between theater and politics and then expand on those to outline a new territory of research by describing eight correlations of phenomena within political campaigns and ensemble theater practice. The research combines my history as a performer and political operative and gathers testimonial evidence from ensemble theater practitioners who are active in electoral politics. To imagine richer interfaces between ensemble theater practice and political campaigns that benefit the public and the common good I interrogate the experience of developing and creating ads with the siblings of Congressman Paul Gosar for the Brill for Congress campaign. I cross-reference the creative processes of the Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards and the Seven A’s of transformational social action developed by Jerry Stropnicky and the Network of Ensemble Theaters to elaborate on the opportunities and challenges of using ensemble theater practices and approaches with campaigns and candidates. The research is an invitation to participate in the challenge of developing transformational dialogues with ourselves, with colleagues, and with community. It acknowledges nearby territories of research, proposes an emergent theory of correlations, gathers testimonial evidence from practitioners, and adjusts a metric for gauging transformational social action in the arts to politics.

ETHNOGRAPHIC CINEMA (EC): A MANIFESTO / A PROVOCATION (USA, 2003)
So-called ethnographic films are, in fact, films about culture and not films that pictorially convey ethnographic knowledge. They are produced by professional filmmakers who have little or no knowledge of anthropology and by anthropologists who thoughtlessly follow the dictates of documentary realism.
For a cinema to exist that furthers the purposes of anthropology, the following must occur:
1. EC must be the work of academically educated and academically employed socio-cultural anthropologists. EC can only be a consequence of ethnographic research by trained ethnographers who professionally engage in academic discourse on a regular basis. EC must be an extension of their

A Future for Ethnographic Film?
University departments regularly teach the theory, history, practice and criticism of anthropological communications-verbal, written and pictorial-enabling scholars from senior professors to graduate students to select the most appropriate mode in which to publish their work. It is now possible for scholars to experiment without obtaining large grants that require the production of materials designed either for the classroom or for public television, nor are they forced to hire professional crews whose goals are often at odds with those of a scholar.

Image Ethics
This path breaking collection of thirteen original essays examines the moral rights of the subjects of documentary film, photography, and television. Image makers--photographers and filmmakers--are coming under increasing criticism for presenting images of people that are considered intrusive and embarrassing to the subject. Portraying subjects in a “false light,” appropriating their images, and failing to secure “informed consent” are all practices that intensify the debate between advocates of the right to privacy and the public’s right to know. Discussing these questions from a variety of perspectives, the authors here explore such issues as informed consent, the “right” of individuals and minority groups to be represented fairly and accurately, the right of individuals to profit from their own image, and the peculiar moral obligations of minorities who image themselves and the producers of autobiographical documentaries. The book includes a series of provocative case studies on: the documentaries of Frederick Wiseman, particularly Titicut Follies; British documentaries of the 1930s; the libel suit of General Westmoreland against CBS News; the film Witness and its portrayal of the Amish; the film The Gods Must be Crazy and its portrayal of the San people of southern Africa; and the treatment of Arabs and gays on television. The first book to explore the moral issues peculiar to the production of visual images, Image Ethics will interest a wide range of general readers and students and specialists in film and television production, photography, communications, media, and the social sciences.
