Each mode of Thank You will be enabled through the following means: Thank You: Part
I will be an interactive installation piece with the table itself; Thank You: Part II will be a
reflexive short documentary centered around the table, the live production of the installation, and
the social relationships fostered through this experience to evoke methods of anthropological
cinema according to my theoretical approach. I have designed my theoretical approach for
anthropological cinema in part as hypothesized by Jay Ruby, "if ethnographic filmmakers were
to produce films that tell the story of their field research, and the story of the people they studied,
in a reflexive manner that permitted audience to enjoy the cinematic illusion of verisimilitude
without causing them to think they were seeing reality, then an anthropological cinema would be
born" (Ruby 278). I will be exercising Ruby's proposal through a comprehensive fusion of
additional concepts like ludic phronesis and choice that would facilitate the conditions for
this to occur. I anticipate that together, the two proposed modes of Thank You are designed to
provide essential layers of mediation, reflexivity, identity, social relationships, and choice that
make up the foundation of my theoretical approach to anthropological cinema.
My attempt at developing Thank You I-II within the realm of anthropological cinema
originates from my interest to establish a methodological approach that fulfills the qualitative,reflexive, and hypermediated conditions found within the suppositional category of
anthropological cinema as it exists on the fringe of Documentary. My theoretical approach and
execution of anthropological cinema for Thank You I-II will consist of a cyclical procedure that
alternates between stabilized and destabilized processes of mediation. (Fig. 1 - pp. 29) The
definition of mediation in the case of my thesis's theoretical approach derives from Richard2
