This is the latest in the series of indispensable volumes that Arnd Schneider has edited (or co-edited) tracing developments in the field of art and anthropology, and here, in the growing affordances, beyond the influence of critical film theory or existing experiments in observational film, for absorbing more difficult contemporary work into the continuing signature commitment of anthropologists to ethnography. As ever, Schneider has been judicious and acute in his work, showing, rather than telling, the stakes of further venues of experiment in an already lively visual anthropology. - George E. Marcus, Director, Center for Ethnography, University of California, Irvine, USA. Expanded Visions is a new chapter in Arnd Schneider's decades-long commitment to scrutinising the intersection of anthropology and the visual arts - gesturing towards the radical possibilities of experimentation in audiovisual research. It is an astute plea for multimodal and artistic inquiry. [...] In short, it's a welcome and eloquent contribution to research on the intersection of anthropology and the arts. - Sander Hoelsgens, LSE Review of Books
