Question: Pels (1997) discusses positionality and the difficulty of providing information from an "objective" standpoint in anthropology. The notion of objectivity in anthropological research, according to him, is flawed because it obscures the subjective and contextual nature of knowledge production. Pels asserts that every piece of information is influenced by the researcher's cultural, social, and historical context and is therefore founded on a particular perspective. Disregarding this positionality may lead individuals to believe that the portrayal of cultures is impartial and universal, thereby perpetuating stereotypes and inaccuracies. - How can we see this supposedly objective view of culture in the film Jedda(1955)?

Russ-Smith (2019) sheds light on the embodiment of sovereignty. Indigenous worldviews often centre around the interconnectedness of land, culture, and identity. In "Jedda," the depiction of the protagonist's connection to Country and her struggle for autonomy echoes the embodied sovereignty discussed in the reading. The film allows viewers to witness how Indigenous characters navigate a world where their connection to land is deeply intertwined with their sense of self and community. - How this provide a more accurate view of Indigenous cultures than Jedda?
