The Ethnographic Text. An Argument.
The purpose of this E.R's issue is to identify practices by which ethnographic texts are constructed and to examine recent innovations and criticisms in ethnographic writing. This argument extends the papers and discussions of a seminar which took place last year in Santa Fe, and focused on : the special rhetorics of cross-cultural description, modes of authority and narrative form, the ways oral discourses (including those of fieldwork) are inscribed in representational accounts, the means by which «objects» of description are classified and bounded, changing historical contexts of power and knowledge, disciplinary constraints, the shifting boundaries of ethnography and allied genres such as travel and field diaries, the novel, historical narrative, realist and modernist styles in the social sciences, literature, and cultural criticism. Especially, this argument tries to examine this ethnographic writing workshop and network, if not patchwork, through what we so call a self-ethnography or an ethnography of the modern world and culture.
