In recent years, there has been an enthusiastic call for the use of multimodal methods in anthropological research, largely inspired by the democratization of media production technologies. This initial excitement for multimodal methods has been closely followed by an ambivalence when digital media tools often fall short of creating the hoped-for social and political change. This entry deals with the potentials and limits of multimodal methods in anthropology, focusing in particular on the contributions of feminist anthropologists.
