As multisited research has become mainstream in anthropology,
collaboration has gained new relevance and traction as a critical
infrastructure of both fieldwork and theory, enabling more
ambitious research designs, forms of communication, and analysis.
Collaborative Anthropology Today is the outcome of a 2017 workshop
held at the Center for Ethnography, University of California,
Irvine. This book is the latest in a trilogy that includes
Fieldwork Is Not What It Used to Be and Theory Can Be More Than It
Used to Be. Dominic Boyer and George E. Marcus assemble several
notable ventures in collaborative anthropology and put them in
dialogue with one another as a way of exploring the recent surge of
interest in creating new kinds of ethnographic and theoretical
partnerships, especially in the domains of art, media, and
information. Contributors highlight projects in which collaboration
has generated new possibilities of expression and
conceptualizations of anthropological research, as well as
prototypes that may be of use to others contemplating their own
experimental collaborative ventures.
Energize and organize your writing life by tapping into your
fundamental motivators. Note: This second edition has been
substantially revised and updated, including 10% more content than
the first edition. Aspiring and professional writers alike struggle
to stay motivated; in the face of distractions, obligations, and
procrastination, the desire to write often fails to become the act
of writing. Motivated writers, notes the author, are those who have
learned to identify their fundamental emotional drives and who have
established a writing routine that satisfies those drives. Kelner
draws on the research and insights of motivational psychology to
show writers how to harness the energy of these fundamental
motivators. With a degree in motivational psychology, Kelner
applies not only his training in the field but also his own
original research into the motivational patterns typical of
writers. Depending on their motivational profile, different writers
will respond best to different kinds of feedback and rewards and
will function best in different kinds of environments. Kelner
explains the basic drives of power, affiliation, and achievement;
he shows how these drives are manifested in a wide variety of
behaviors; and he provides self-assessment tools to construct your
own motivational profile. In clear and accessible terms, and with
numerous examples and anecdotes, Kelner shows writers how they can
identify their own primary motivations and use that knowledge to
arrange their work habits and energize their writing lives.
