How does peripherality challenge methodology and theory-making?
This book examines how the peripheral can be incorporated into
ethnographic research, and reflects on what it means to be on the
periphery - ontologically and epistemologically. Starting from the
premise that clarity and fixity as ideals of modernity prevent us
from approaching that which cannot be easily captured and framed
into scientific boundaries, the book argues for remaining on the
boundary between the known and the unknown in order to surpass this
ethnographic limit. Peripheral Methodologies shows that
peripherality is not only to be seen as a marginal condition, but
rather as a form of theory-making and practice that incorporates
reflexivity and experimentation. Instead of domesticating the
peripheral, the authors engage in (and insist on) practicing
expertise in reverse, unlearning their tools in order to integrate
the empirical and analytical otherwise.
