Panourgia and Marcus bring together anthropologists working in various parts of the world (Greece, Bali, Taiwan, the United States) with classicists, historians, and scholars in cultural studies. The volume takes into account global realities such as 9/11 and the opening of the Cypriot Green Line and explores the different ways in which Geertz's anthropology has shaped the pedagogy of their disciplines and enabled discussions among them. Focusing on place and time, locations and temporalities, the essays in this volume interrogate the fixity of interpretation and open new spaces of inquiry. The volume addresses a wide audience from the humanities and the social sciences--anyone interested in the development of a new humanism that will relocate the human as a subject of social action.

"This volume engages the renaissance of collaborative methodology in anthropology and highlights several recent projects, putting their creators in dialogue with one another. Each project has its own means and media for pushing beyond the norms of solo research and writing that have predominated in anthropology since the 1960s"-- As multi-sited research has mainstreamed in anthropology, collaboration has gained new relevance and traction as a critical infrastructure of both fieldwork and theory, enabling more ambitious research designs, forms of communication, and analysis. Collaborative Anthropology Today is the outcome of a 2017 workshop held at University of California–Irvine's Center for Ethnography. This volume is the latest in the trilogy of companion projects that also includes, Fieldwork Is Not What It Used to Be and Theory Can Be More Than It Used To Be. The essays here assemble several notable ventures in collaborative anthropology and puts them in dialogue with one another as a way of exploring the recent surge of interest in creating new kinds of ethnographic and theoretical partnerships, especially in the domains of art, media, and information. Contributors highlight projects in which collaboration has generated new possibilities of expression and conceptualizations of anthropological research, as well as prototypes that may be of use to others contemplating their own experimental collaborative ventures (provided by publisher)

Over the past two decades anthropologists have been challenged to rethink the nature of ethnographic research, the meaning of fieldwork, and the role of ethnographers. Ethnographic fieldwork has cultural, social, and political ramifications that have been much discussed and acted upon, but the training of ethnographers still follows a very traditional pattern; this volume engages and takes its point of departure in the experiences of ethnographers-in-the-making that encourage alternative models for professional training in fieldwork and its intellectual contexts.The work done by contributors to Fieldwork Is Not What It Used to Be articulates, at the strategic point of career-making research, features of this transformation in progress. Setting aside traditional anxieties about ethnographic authority, the authors revisit fieldwork with fresh initiative. In search of better understandings of the contemporary research process itself, they assess the current terms of the engagement of fieldworkers with their subjects, address the constructive, open-ended forms by which the conclusions of fieldwork might take shape, and offer an accurate and useful description of what it means to become-and to be-an anthropologist today.Contributors: Lisa Breglia, George Mason University; Jae A.

As the military and intelligence communities re-tool for the 21st century, the long and contentious debate about the role of social scientists in national security environments is dividing the disciplines with renewed passion. Yet, research shows that most scholars have a weak understanding of what today's security institutions actually are and what working in them entails. This book provides an essential new foundation for the debate, with fine-grained accounts of the complex and varied work of cultural, physical, and linguistic anthropologists and archaeologists doing security-related w

Pour les sciences sociales, l’enquête de terrain est incontournable. Mais alors que l’approche classique se fonde sur l’opposition traditionnelle entre terrain et bureau et sur l’objectivité supposée du chercheur, le travail in situ est appréhendé ici comme une zone accidentée, une expérience dont les rugosités, les malentendus et les perturbations constituent la matière même de la recherche. À la croisée de plusieurs pratiques, les auteurs de cet ouvrage déjouent les lignes établies en créant des situations inédites susceptibles de révéler la société sous un jour nouveau. L’expérience artistique (théâtre, performance, cinéma) alimente le questionnement anthropologique, tandis que le renouvellement de perspective est envisagé à partir du réexamen critique de l’ensemble des processus d’écriture et de restitution. Cette immersion dans les errements de la recherche ne manquera pas d’interpeller le lecteur, qu’il soit anthropologue ou artiste.

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.--
