Whilst the Writing culture critique since the mid‐1980s has led to a number of experiments with ethnographic writing, the visual side has been neglected. Thus this article argues that by looking at the work of Oppitz, Downey, and Lockhart, which has not been considered in the canon of visual and general anthropology, anthropologists can develop new strategies of visual representation and research in regard to (1) conceptualizing closeness to and distance from the ethnographic subject, (2) the multiple positioning of the participant observer, and (3) developing new formal possibilities of visual representation. In doing so, anthropologists can start to address the unfulfilled potential of visual experimentation inherent in the Writing culture critique. This article then discusses three examples of experimentation with art and ethnography, that is, Shamans of the Blind Country, by anthropologist and film director Michael Oppitz (part‐narrated by the writer William S. Burroughs), the video‐ and installation work of pioneer video artist Juan Downey among the Yanomamö, and the experimental film and photographic work Teatro Amazonas by contemporary artist Sharon Lockhart in Brazil, based on a collaboration with anthropologists.RésuméAlors que la critique issue de Writing culture a suscité, depuis le milieu des années 1980, de nombreuses expériences d'écriture ethnographique, le côté visuel de l'ethnographie a été négligé. L'auteur avance donc qu'en examinant les travaux d'Oppitz, Downey et Lockhart, qui n'ont pas été incluses dans les œuvres canoniques de l'anthropologie visuelle générale, les anthropologues peuvent élaborer de nouvelles stratégies de représentation visuelle et de recherches sur (1) la conceptualisation de la proximité et de la distance par rapport au sujet ethnographique, (2) le positionnement multiple de l'observateur participant et (3) le développement de nouvelles possibilités formelles de représentation visuelle. Par ce biais, les anthropologues peuvent commencer à exploiter le potentiel inexploré de l'expérimentation visuelle contenue dans l'approche «Writing culture». Le présent article discute ensuite trois exemples d'expérimentation de l'art et de l'ethnographie, à savoir Shamans of the Blind Country, par l'anthropologue et cinéaste Michael Oppitz (dont la narration est due en partie au romancier William S. Burroughs), le travail de vidéo et d'installation du vidéaste pionnier Juan Downey chez les Yanomamö et l'œuvre cinématographique et photographique Teatro Amazonas de l'artiste contemporaine Sharon Lockhart au Brésil, réalisée en collaboration avec des anthropologues.

Criticism of African creative works by both African and western scholars has become a major intellectual activity. Many articles have been published on African writers and their works, and, in recent years, several journals have appeared which are devoted exclusively to the discussion of African literature. This surge of interest is further reflected in the fact that a number of book-length studies have been produced, and African writers such as Wole Soyinka (a dramatist) and Yambo Ouologuem (a novelist) have received international accolades. In short, African literature is now recognised as a vital element in the corpus of world literature.
