In this comprehensive ethnography of Tudi Gong, Dell'Orto engages in a theoretical discussion of the practices, processes and strategies of ethnography and ethnographic writing, and contributes to the construction of an anthropology of place by analysing a number of key concepts related to the notion of place and space. The study combines the use of personal ethnography with \u003cem\u003eraconteurs'\u003c\/em\u003e own accounts as a way of tracing senses of place and memories of the past. This is a pioneering foundation text for an anthropology of non domestic place and space and brings the most important recent work of social geographers into the field of anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessandro Dell'orto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0700715681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780700715688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.86h x 6.78w x 0.77d","brand":"Alessandro Dell'orto","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47757833339135,"sku":"9780700715688","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e930b18-554d-4d43-b81f-d1de4af5ef8a.jpg?v=1765510636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/place-and-spirit-in-taiwan-alessandro-dellorto-9780700715688","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
