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 globalisations undulations and futures, the collection features research projects from around the world, as well as writing in a reective register about global topics including human trafficking, international adoption and migration, popular pedagogies, nancial crises, datacation 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 ones 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.
