Fieldworkers’ notebooks are full of sensations and observations
in which the subjectivity of the ethnographer seeps through. Not
really science. Much closer to life. Yet in classical anthropology
they are invisible to the reader. In this book the focus is
reversed, turning Anthropology Inside Out as it explores the
vibrant backstage life of field notes. What happens when we put
them centre stage? Aimed at both curious novice and experienced
practitioner, the chapters read as a catalogue of experimental
practices teetering on the edge of the tradition: intuitively
observational drawings; notes pervaded with paranoia; collective
notetaking;crisis-ridden personal confessions; layers of notes in
photographs and archives; old flip-flops that trigger memories in
mind and body. This exploration of what field notes are, can do and
could be, concludes with a constellation of shimmering notes on
notes from Michael Taussig, a meta-commentary on anthropologists’
fetishistic relationship with the most personal of professional
tools.
