Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book  explores what it means—and what it takes—to write ethnographic texts that resonate with both fieldwork and readers.  It approaches writing as a form of embodied thinking and encourages conceptual openness and a willingness to experiment. Drawing on exemplary texts and the authors’ experiences as teachers and writers, it explores the importance of attentiveness, imagination, and ethical engagement. Grounded in anthropology and phenomenology, and inspired by literature, it weaves conceptual reflection with practical guidance and literary sensibility. Throughout the book, the authors show how ambiguity, affect, and imagination can foster understanding. Each chapter focuses on a key aspect of the writing process, exploring fundamentals such as time, voice, argument, and composition. More than just a guide to writing, Resonant Ethnography  is an invitation to think, feel, and imagine through writing, and to appreciate what ethnography can be in the world today.
