Produktbeschreibung

How do anthropologists write their texts? What is the nature of creativity in the discipline of anthropology? This book follows anthropologists into spaces where words, ideas and arguments take shape, exploring the steps in a creative process. In a unique examination of how texts come to be composed, a distinguished group of anthropologists offer valuable insight into their writing habits. These reflexive glimpses into personal creativity reveal not only the processes by which theory and ethnography come to be represented on the page, but also supply examples that students may follow or adapt. Essential reading for all students embarking on enthnographical writing.
