Experimenting with Ethnography: A Companion to Analysis (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781478010746)

Experimenting with Ethnography collects twenty-one essays that open new paths for doing ethnographic analysis. The contributors--who come from a variety of intellectual and methodological traditions--enliven analysis by refusing to take it as an abstract, disembodied exercise. Rather, they frame it as a concrete mode of action and a creative practice. Encompassing topics ranging from language and the body to technology and modes of collaboration, the essays invite readers to focus on the imaginative work that needs to be performed prior to completing an argument. Whether exchanging objects, showing how to use drawn images as a way to analyze data, or working with smartphones, sound recordings, and social media as analytic devices, the contributors explore the deliberate processes for pursuing experimental thinking through ethnography. Practical and broad in theoretical scope, Experimenting with Ethnography is an indispensable companion for all ethnographers.
