Q3: In "Nanook of the North," the narrative about the travails of Nanook and his family seems to drive the film, while in "Reassemblage," a narrator comments on the rather disparate images and characters that appear to lack narrative form. In what ways do narratives and narrators function to constitute the subject/object of ethnography? A couple of questions came to mind: In what ways does the "staging" of scenes in Nanook differ from and resemble the editing of sound in "Reassemblage"? How do narrative devices relate to what Trinh T. Minh-ha refers to as not speaking about, but speaking nearby?
