Dear all,
"Experimental Collaborations: Ethnography through Fieldwork devices” is now
out in Berghahn (EASA series).
Adolfo Estalella & Tomás Sánchez Criado (Eds.)
"In the accounts compiled in this book, ethnography occurs through processes
of material and social interventions that turn the field into a site for
epistemic collaboration. Through creative interventions that unfold what we
term as “fieldwork devices”—such as coproduced books, the circulation of
repurposed data, co-organized events, authorization protocols, relational
frictions, and social rhythms—anthropologists engage with their counterparts
in the field in the construction of joint anthropological problematizations.
In these situations, the traditional tropes of the fieldwork encounter (i.e.
immersion and distance) give way to a narrative of intervention, where the
aesthetics of collaboration in the production of knowledge substitutes or
intermingles with participant observation. Building on this, the book proposes
the concept of “experimental collaborations” to describe and conceptualize
this distinctive ethnographic modality.”
