Synopsis

What was a harrowing insight in ethnology in the 1980s is consensus today: every ethnography is as much about "us" as it is of "those" whose world is studied. But what exactly flows into ethnological writing? Last but not least, they are personal reads: no text is conceivable without other texts. For the present volume, the editorial team of the Edition Trickster approached 22 ethnologists with the question: "Which text has shaped your thinking?" The answers were unexpectedly diverse. The authors describe in very personal texts how certain films, ethnographies, graphic novels, an academic essay or a poem have triggered this "aha moment", which has formatively affected their ethnological thinking or even changed their life path and to which they have come back again and again since then. Apart from scientific reflection, this anthology is a reading pleasure that stimulates you to look up, browse and enjoy - inspiration just as well! Features contributions including Donna Haraway, James Clifford, Kirin Narayan and Tim Ingold.
