Información del libro
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.
