Ethnographic Experimentation introduces readers to an experimental style of ethnography in which ethnographers and their companions conduct inquiries together.
This is not a conventional methods manual, since there can be no single, shared method for experimentation. Instead, the book offers a collection of ethnographic case studies and concepts through which readers can think with and cultivate an experimental sensibility. By cultivating this form of inquiry, the book shows readers how ethnography is not merely a practice dedicated to describing the world but a collective endeavour for intervening and make a difference within it.
The book will be essential reading for students and scholars in anthropology, sociology, STS, and related fields for whom ethnography is a key research method.
