Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This workshop examines the concept of multi-sited ethnography. Debates about multi-sited ethnography are approached historically and placed within an analysis of the regimes of truth within which concepts take on narrative power. Issues of the entanglement of social science theory and methodology are discussed. The workshop explores the claims made by proponents of multi-sited ethnography and compares them to methodological concerns raised by previous generations of ethnographers. From these perspectives we situate and critique a series of foundational concepts including: site, boundary, space, place, scale, local, global and transnational. Work in transnational migration is taken as a case in point.
