Reviews

Sociologists and other social scientists contribute to the genre of autobiographical writing about ethnographic work by describing projects that never happened, fell apart, or went seriously off track. They reflect on what might have been, and return to the theme of absence. Among their topics are remarks from a lost engagement with the engaging ordinariness of Parkour, losing Bigfoot, flat claps and Dengue Fever: a story of ethnographies lost and found in India, losing students in a school ethnography: anthropology and the puzzle of holism, and finding lost things under the binds of a neglected thesis cover. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) *
