Obscure language in the article requires clarification
[edit]This article uses unorthodox English mixed with obscure academese, which is bad style, and confusing. The meaning is difficult to understand. The purpose of Wikipedia is to explain things in reasonable terms that can be understood without strenuous further research or reflection. Meanings should be immediate and plain. In this article, the following statements are unclear, and have been flagged using the {{Clarify}} template:
- "Jean Rouch introduces the actor as a tool."
- "the exigency in ethnographic research of a non-participating camera is a pre-concept denied by practice."
- "The remote Trás-os-Montes region ... and the Cape Vert islands ... which step in the limelights ..."
- "Arising fiction"
- "Portuguese films strip off realistic predicates"
These obscurities should be rewritten. The same problems disfigure the Docufiction article (see Talk:Docufiction), written by the same author, User:Tertulius in Portugal, who does not appear, on the evidence, to have a native feeling for the English language. — O'Dea (talk) 06:16, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
