E-grāmata: Experimental Collaborations: Ethnography through Fieldwork Devices

This volume proposes devices for attuning researchers to field sites, moving in and with them, or making sense of specific encounters after the factThe potential shape of fieldwork devices is difficult to convey in a purely conceptual or textbook format this volume uses powerful examples to help readers outThe humanity of ethnographic research projects emerges, with its methodological anxieties and the often required creative inventiveness emanating from fieldwork practices. Science & Technology Studies





As a pedagogical text, this volume will be useful to graduate students in anthropology, particularly for methods classes, and other disciplines that employ ethnography. On the whole, the collection insightfully and productively furthers the notion of what collaboration can be, and how it is practiced, in fieldwork. Anthropos





Every tradition (re)invents itself. What is more, its impossible to keep tradition without reimagining and reinventing it constantly. This book is an invitation to rethink our methodological repertoires, an exercise in ethnographic (re)imagination. An inventory but not a recipe book; a contemporary inventory of the (multiple and complex) ways in which anthropology relates to the production of knowledge.At a time when politics turns into experimentation, in this work experimentation is a political moment, as politics not only traverses militant anthropology but also examines the ways we think, feel, share, and (co-) produce knowledge.

This volume represents a very serious, worthwhile, and successful effort to bring together new works on ethnographic field methods It will be of relevance to all practicing anthropologists, regardless of their subdiscipline, area of geographical interest, or current career position.

Experimental Collaborations provides fascinating insights into some of the muddiest disciplines premised on engaged fieldwork. The book proposes an interesting and useful theoretical framework to explicate the contemporary challenges facing fieldworkers of various kinds. Matan Shapiro, Ben Gurion University of the Negev
