Description
Jan Blommaert's Dialogues with Ethnography explores the theoretical foundations of ethnographic research. By tracing his own reading of influential works in the field, Blommaert argues that ethnography should be viewed as a comprehensive system rather than just a method. The book examines the work of key authors who have shaped the development of ethnographic theory, including Hymes, Scollon, Kress, Bourdieu, Bakhtin, and Lefebvre. This thought-provoking analysis will be essential reading for students and scholars involved in ethnographic research or those interested in the theoretical underpinnings of the field. With its insightful exploration of the relationships between theory and practice, Dialogues with Ethnography offers a nuanced understanding of the discipline's core concepts and methods.
