This book argues that qualitative methods, ethnography included,
have tended to focus on the human at the cost of understanding
humans and animals in relation, and that ethnography should evolve
to account for the relationships between humans and other species.
Intellectual recognition of this has arrived within the field of
human-animal studies and in the philosophical development of
posthumanism but there are few practical guidelines for research.
Taking this problem as a starting point, the authors draw on a wide
array of examples from visual methods, ethnodrama, poetry and
movement studies to consider the political, philosophical and
practical consequences of posthuman methods. They outline the
possibilities for creative new forms of ethnography that eschew
simplistic binaries between humans and animals. Ethnography after
Humanism suggests how researchers could conduct different forms of
fieldwork and writing to include animals more fruitfully and will
be of interest to students and scholars across a range of
disciplines, including human-animal studies, sociology,
criminology, animal geography, anthropology, social theory and
natural resources.
