The context of the research project is the applicant's focus on research and teaching in visual anthropology; it investigates the social contexts and discourses of documentary films. The points of departure are the following questions: How is emotional and multisensory experience translated into film language? How is experience mediated in audiovisual representations and how is it negotiated in and by social discourse practices? What role does multisensory evocation play regarding the viewer's empathy, participation and affective involvement? The applicant and the prospective researcher investigate the "documentary" field of discourse as regards the questions mentioned above.Through an integrative study of visual anthropology, anthropology of the senses and the emotions, along with the fields of film, literature and philosophy, the project focuses on the production and discursive reception of various poetics of feeling.The subject matter is films that thematically and stylistically question the western hierarchy of the senses and the preference of vision. Thus the focus moves from a supposedly pictorial representation towards a multisensory evocation of social realities and emotional life. Therefore films will be analyzed which thematically and stylistically make the invisible and absent into a sensuous experience for the viewer. This focus, which is manifest in film language in narrative gaps, editing techniques and other cinematic strategies, is due to the leading thesis that cinematic blanks are filled in the viewers' imagination - thus they are stimulated to participate in an emotional, multisensory way. This thesis needs to be examined through an interdisciplinary plurality of methods, which include discourse analysis and questions on the aesthetics of reception. The project focuses its attention on actors in the heterogeneous discourse on documentaries.Because of its interdisciplinarity and its focus on the viewer and reception the project closes a gap in Visual Anthropology.

研究项目的背景是申请人对视觉人类学研究和教学的关注;它调查了纪录片的社会背景和话语。出发点是以下问题：如何将情感和多感官体验转化为电影语言？经验是如何在视听表征中介导的，它是如何在社会话语实践中以及通过社会话语实践进行协商的？多感官唤起在观众的移情、参与和情感投入方面扮演什么角色？申请人和未来的研究者就上述问题调查了“纪录片”话语领域。通过视觉人类学、感官和情感人类学沿着电影、文学和哲学领域的综合研究，该项目的重点是生产和话语接受的各种诗学的感觉。主题是电影，主题和风格的问题，西方的感官等级和视觉偏好。因此，重点从所谓的绘画表现转向对社会现实和情感生活的多感官唤起。因此，电影将被分析的主题和风格，使无形的和缺席到一个感性的经验，为观众。这一重点体现在电影语言中的叙事空白、剪辑技巧和其他电影策略中，这是由于电影空白填补了观众的想象力-从而刺激他们以情感、多感官的方式参与。本论文需要通过跨学科的多元研究方法来审视，包括话语分析和接受美学问题。该项目关注纪录片异质话语中的演员。由于其跨学科性以及对观众和接受的关注，该项目填补了视觉人类学的空白。
