Ethnographically Speaking: Autoethnography, Literature, and Aesthetics

This volume presents explorations in the literary turn in ethnographic work. Centring on autoethnography, personal narrative, ethnographic performance and the blending of social science and the arts, the articles collected here emphasize embodiment, experimental understanding, participatory ways of knowing, sensuous engagement and intimate encounter. Drawing from a range of disciplines, such as sociology, philosophy, psychology and English, the author demonstrates the ways in which ethnography can be effectively expressed.
