Biography
Baptiste Buob joined the CNRS in 2010. Educated in both anthropology and cinema, he usually conducts his research camera in hand, and uses the film as another form of publication alongside the written word. Through his research and lectures, he works to promote the full integration of the power of the camera into ethnographic studies. The book La dinanderie de Fès, a revised version of his PhD thesis accompanied by four films, is an example of what is possible when these different types of knowledge access are combined. He employed a similar approach for a filmed ethnographic study of apprenticeship and transmission in the instrument-making trades of Vosges.
