Experimenting with Ethnography A Companion to Analysis

"This innovative book about ethnography as knowledge provokes in all the right ways. Packed with concrete and creative suggestions for doing, writing, and teaching ethnography well beyond anthropology, Experimenting with Ethnography offers thoughtful inspiration for anyone seeking to sharpen their analytical skills." - Carole McGranahan, editor of (Writing Anthropology: Essays on Craft and Commitment) "Along with much else, analysis is at risk today, as it is equated with actionable findings, tempting us to bracket everything that's confusing. What to do? Let this stunning gathering of anthropologists surprise, puzzle, and enlighten you: their work opens up an altogether different mode of analysis, one that expands the range of incompatibilities that can be held together in thought, a critical competence for anyone committed to knowing and acting in and with, not merely of and on, our world." - Noortje Marres, author of (Digital Sociology: The Reinvention of Social Research)

"Invaluable. Any qualitative researchers, not just ethnographers, would benefit from the practical, hands-on protocols, as well as the imaginative and diverse projects the authors reference. No other book I have come across offers more stimulating and practical guidance on undertaking analysis of ethnographic material."

- Emily Zimbrick-Rogers (Practical Theology)

"I was continually inspired as I read through this collection of essays and heartened by the willingness of the authors to reveal the inner workings of how ethnographic analysis may unfold. I highly recommend Experimenting with Ethnography to anyone who already has a hunch that ethnographic analysis is not an endpoint but rather a stop along the way."

- Christine Hegel (Anthropos) "The book stands out as one of the most enjoyable volumes I have ever encountered on ethnographic analysis. It undoubtedly serves as an outstanding 'unruly companion' to keep close at hand for anyone with an interest in anthropological thinking." - Fulya Pinar (American Ethnologist)
