VIDEOS

Videos were a critical part of the learning and practice that formed part of the project -- videography of popular culture and open source collaborative visual ethnography (OSCVE) contributed both the substance and process behind some of the output of the project. Videos often constituted the ground for meeting around, discussing, and furthering the understandings of myself and my online collaborators who for the most part tended to be Trinidadian writers, musicians, graphic artists, and poets.

The main collection of videos is presented in the vodpod below. Entire lectures by intellectuals whose work is directly relevant to the project, as well as complete documentaries, films, music videos, and even some political comedy, form the core of the offerings.

It is important for the visitor to know that the vodpod below, like the blog, was meant as a stand-alone, independent and parallel stream to what the blog offered. It should not therefore be seen as mere background, supplement, or otherwise secondary material.

I also have a very small and slowly growing channel on YouTube, with some derivative work, and some original work on Vimeo, and a Vodspot TV collection. The YouTube logo will take you to my video channel, and the vodpod logo will take you to the Vodspot TV collection.
