photo-Video Collaborative Ethnography in Urban Spaces. The production of ‘White Eagle’ in the former Italcementi Factory in Trento

A book chapter based on the collaborative video ethnography conducted in the former Italcementi factory in Trento has now been published in Italian in the edited book of Frisina, A. on Visual Methods of Social Research:

Manzo, Lidia K.C. (2016). “foto-Video Etnografia Collaborativa negli Spazi Urbani. La produzione di ‘Aquila Bianca’ nell’ex-Italcementi di Trento“, in Frisina, A. (ed.), Metodi Visuali di ricerca sociale, Bologna: Il Mulino (pp. 191-210). ISBN: 8815265570

The study draws from the collaborative ethnographic video produced with refugees, professional filmmakers, photographers and local activists concerned about the precarious living conditions of a group of migrants that make the former Italcementi factory their home. Placing collaboration more systematically throughout both fieldwork and the writing process, the work discusses urban research practice in the light of industrial disinvestment processes in northern Italy.
