Experiments in Worldly Ethnography

This volume experiments with ‘worldliness’ as found in theory method and □eldwork practice. It provides readers with ten unique case studies that grapple with worldliness as an affective relational sensory and multimodal experience. Attending to globalisation’s undulations and futures the collection features research projects from around the world as well as writing in a re□ective register about ‘global’ topics – including human traf□ficking international adoption and migration popular pedagogies □nancial crises data□cation and AI and terrorism and civil war. The book is an invitation to use ethnographic practice in a way that recognises the value of ‘present conjunctures’ to interrupt and disrupt disciplinary ways of thinking. It is a provocation to collapse boundaries and scales between material and symbolic worlds to explore connections between the human and the non-human to work with entanglements of matter and that matter and to feel or sense – rather than know or explain – one’s way through ethnographic encounters. The volume will be of interest to upper-level students and researchers in anthropology sociology and cultural studies especially those interested in global ethnography and the possibilities of qualitative research.
