Experimenting with Ethnography is a collection of twenty-one essays that offer fresh approaches to conducting ethnographic analysis. The contributors, hailing from diverse intellectual and methodological backgrounds, breathe life into the analysis by treating it as a tangible mode of action and a creative practice. Spanning a wide range of topics, from language and the body to technology and modes of collaboration, the essays encourage readers to prioritize the imaginative work that precedes the formulation of an argument. Whether through the exchange of objects, the demonstration of how drawn images can be used for data analysis, or the utilization of smartphones, sound recordings, and social media as analytical tools, the contributors delve into the deliberate processes involved in pursuing experimental thinking through ethnography.

Practical and encompassing a broad theoretical spectrum, Experimenting with Ethnography serves as an invaluable companion for all ethnographers.
