Produktbeschreibung

This original and authoritative exploration of ethnographic writing comes from one of the world's leading academics in the field, Paul Atkinson. The third book in his seminal quartet on ethnographic research, it provides thoughtful, reflective guidance on a crucial skill that is often difficult to master.

Informed throughout by extracts from Paul's own writing, this book explores and examines a broad range of types and genres of ethnographic writing, from fieldnotes and 'confessions', to conventional 'realist' writing and more. Whilst highlighting the possibilities and implications of ethnographic text, this valuable resource will help those conducting ethnographic research select and adopt the most appropriate approach for their study.

By one of the most distinguished commentators, this is a learned and beautifully enlivening account of the critical place of textual form in ethnography . Informed by a disciplined and critical sociological imagination and unconstrained by a central creed, this book will liberate ethnographic researchers to write their worlds.
