Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this article, we propose an anthropology of the multimodal, based on research‐creation work in fugitive film archives. We foreground the material dimension of anthropological research and describe film technology and its use in anthropology as ideologically and materially situated. Through our work with magenta film, we theorize anarchival materiality as a force of entropy in archives and collections. Attention to anarchival materiality raises questions about the persistence and reliability of the products of contemporary multimodal practices in anthropology.
