摘要：Normal 0 false false false EN-CA JA X-NONE This comparative case study used a critical visual analysis approach to examine filmic stories, myths, images, and realities of the African people. Drawing on archaeology as a decolonizing practice, the study examines images and filmic representations of the Maasai of East Africa and the Himbas of Namibia. The study’s underpinnings are visual consumption theory and interpretive analysis as methods that encompass realms, such as informational processing and interpretations of images to expose the layered messages and examine the uses of cultural codes and representational conventions, deeper meanings and associations that people bring to images. The critical analysis reveals and confirms that filmic representations found in global media objectify cultural heritage in layered messages, ideologies, biases, and stereotypes, embedded in specific visual narratives about Indigenous people of Africa.
