Abstract | Abstract

This article proposes a fundamental new understanding of videographic research as an embodied practice and of the video essay as a “mingled body”: Not only does the video essay fuse multiple film materials and diverging artistic and scientific methods into a new body of media. The video essay also engages the bodies of both its makers and viewers in new and unsettling ways. Via a theoretical discussion of the video essay’s body as well as via two concrete examples of embodied video essays the potentials of videographic research for a more vulnerable, non-normative academia of the future are outlined.
