Affect Ethnography

About Affect Ethnography

Playing with the relation between truth and representation in the stories we tell as ethnographers, this book contributes to the current debates around experimental research methodologies and ethnographically grounded theatrical forms. It departs from other studies in the field by proposing a unique and easily followed methodology that brings together theatrical devising practices and anthropology. Through its theoretical exploration and performative script, the book bridges the relation between ethnographic writing and performativity, and simultaneously troubles conventional narrative practices in theatre and anthropology. The practice described in the book, Affect Theater, also emphasizes embodied and affective approaches to empirical research and defines a process for rendering this type of material into imaginative academic writing, collaborative performance, and other inventive forms, applicable across a range of academic disciplines.
