The desire to study the motion of humans and other animals is deeply 
embedded in the technological, social and aesthetic histories of film. A 
crucial moment occurrred in the 1950s and 1960s, when anthropologists, 
psychologists, linguists, sociologists and ethologists turned to film to 
analyze movement as an element in systems of social interaction, rather 
than individual behavior. Film and later video became crucial tools to 
tap into the multi-sensory behavioral stream, to stabilize it and 
facilitate close attention to minute details through repeated viewings 
of brief stretches of interaction. This conference brings together film 
and media scholars, historians of science, artists, art historians, and 
visual anthropologists to explore the media histories, political 
implications, and aesthetic configurations of microanalysis/the micro.

Keynote: Heather Love (University of Pennsylvania)
