Time and the Field
Dalsgaard, S. & Nielsen, M. (eds)
Despite numerous conceptual facelifts, definitions and demarcations of ‘the field’ have remained fundamentally anchored in tropes of spatiality with the association between field and fieldworker characterized by distances in space. This collection serves a fresh invitation to a temporally oriented ethnography by radically rethinking the notion of the field in terms of time rather than space.
