在这篇文章中，有人认为人类学家电影制作人通常不愿讨论他们用来构建电影结构的叙事策略。有人认为，这可能是因为承认他们的电影文本为叙事目的而被操纵，这将破坏继续支撑许多民族志电影制作的“经验修辞学”，尽管它可能是将电影用于民族志目的的实证主义起源的遗迹。在文章的主体部分，主要的民族志电影制作人以及作者在自己的电影中使用的各种叙事手法被识别出来，并考虑了这些叙事手法的认识论含义。文章最后呼吁在民族志电影中更加开放和本能地使用叙事手段。
In this article, it is argued that anthropologist film-makers have generally been reluctant to discuss the narrative strategies that they have used to structure their films. It is suggested that this may be due to the fact that to acknowledge that their filmic texts have been manipulated for narrative purposes would serve to undermine the “empirical rhetoric” which continues to underpin much ethnographic film-making even though it may be a relic of the positivistic origins of the use of film for ethnographic purposes. In the main body of the article, various narrative devices used by leading ethnographic film-makers as well as by the author in his own films are identified and the epistemological implications of these are then considered. The article concludes with a call for a more open and reflexive use of narrative devices in ethnographic film.
