In Multisituated Kaushik Sunder Rajan evaluates the promises and
potentials of multisited ethnography with regard to contemporary
debates around decolonizing anthropology and the university. He
observes that at the current moment, anthropology is increasingly
peopled by diasporic students and researchers, all of whom are
accountable to multiple communities beyond the discipline. In this
light, Sunder Rajan draws on his pedagogical experience and
dialogues to reconceptualize ethnography as a multisituated
practice of knowledge production, ethical interlocution, and
political intervention. Such a multisituated ethnography responds
to contemporary anthropology's myriad commitments as it privileges
attention to questions of scale, comparison, and the politics of
ethnographic encounters. Foregrounding the conditions of
possibility and difficulty for those doing and teaching ethnography
in the twenty-first-century, Sunder Rajan gestures toward an ethos
and praxis of ethnography that would open new forms of engagement
and research.
