Haha, tmv, sõlenaljad! Loen üht Faye Ginsburgi artiklit „Mediating Culture: Indigenous Media, Ethnographic Film, and the Production of Identity” ja seal on juttu sellest, et kes ja kuidas peaks põliselanikest (antud juhul Austraalia aborigeenidest) etnograafilisi filme tegema – kas lääne uurijatel on üldse õigust või peaksid seda tegema põliselanikud ise, kuna nemad teavad, mis on tähtis jne jne. Aga siis seal oli selline nali. Kirjutan kohe terve lõigu ümber:
..Underlying these responses, of course, is the idea that “we” and “they” are separate, which in turn is built on the trope and mystique of the noble savage living in a traditional, bounded world, for whom all knowledge, objects, and values originating elsewhere are polluting of some reified notion of culture and innocence. The movie “Crocodile Dundee” presented a witty commentary on such misapprehension in an encounter between New York journalist Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) and Dundee's (Paul Hogan) Aborginal friend Neville Bell (David Gulpilil). “Creeping through the bush, looking authentic but sounding up-to-date, he is painted from the waist up but wears jeans and a watch. Sue then wants to take his photo. He solemnly tells her she can't. She wonders whether it is beacause it will steal his spirit. 'No,' he informs her, 'the lens cap's on.'” :)
See pani mind kohe tahtma uuesti vaadata Krokodill Dundee filmi. Peaks hankima kusagilt.
