This volume presents the latest explorations of the literary turn in
ethnographic work by many of the leading people in the area. Centering
on autoethnography, personal narrative, ethnographic performance, and
the blending of social science and the arts, the articles collected
here emphasize embodiment, experiential understanding, participatory
ways of knowing, sensuous engagement, and intimate encounter. Drawing
from disciplines as diverse as sociology, philosophy, performance
studies, communication, family therapy, and English, the authors here
demonstrate the many ways in which ethnography can be effectively
conducted and expressed. The editors weave narrative and conversations
surrounding the conference from which these pieces emerged into a
reflexive volume which includes poetry, stories, theatre, and visual
media as well as critical pieces. Accessible and jargon free, this
book should excite scholars and students as to the expanding
possibilities for ethnographic presentation.
