WG5 event: Exploring China’s Transformations through a Video Camera Lens

In a world saturated with visual data, how can cameras—whether professional or on our phones—illuminate China’s ongoing socio-economic transformations? What unique insights can audio-visual approaches offer that conventional methods cannot? What ethical dilemmas and methodological challenges do they introduce, and how might researchers begin to experiment with them? In this online discussion organised by CHERN's WG5 (Labour and Migration), three well-known scholars of China reflect on their engagement with audio-visual research methods and explore these questions through their recent visual works. 

Thursday, January 8
12:00 CET
