Pandemic ethnography
09/04/20There are a growing number of interesting ethnographic projects emerging in these times which we have come across so far that we wanted to share.
The great collective work led by Deborah Lupton on digital fieldwork, Doing Fieldwork in a Pandemic.
The Corona Diaries auto-ethnography project.
The website Allegra has its own Corona Diaries.
Calls for short essays in Cultural Anthropology.
Insightful blogposts in the series Somatosphere.
An interesting exercise from Bruno Latour on his website translated into several languages: a post-crisis “auto-descriptive questionnaire” about making an inventory of activities “we would like to see not coming back, and those, on the other hand, that we would like to see develop”.
Please let us know if you have come across or initiated any others, so we can add to the list and in the meantime we will add more reflections here as well.
Take care, from all of us.
