Essays in Linguistic Ethnography: Ethics, Aesthetics, Encounters (Not yet published)

AUTHOR Blackledge, Adrian; Creese, Angela
PUBLISHER Multilingual Matters Limited (09/12/2023)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

This book argues for an approach to linguistic ethnography which departs from the singular gaze of the academic researcher, to amplify instead the voices of participants, researchers and collaborators. The authors offer an account of writing ethnography polyphonically, incorporating the complexity of individual voices. In doing so they challenge the imperative to make meaning from, and explain the culture of, 'the other'. Together the essays open up the emic perspective by considering the experiential, aesthetic, emotional, moral and ethical value people bring to encounters with others. The book is an essential addition to research methods courses in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics, and an invaluable contribution to knowledge about research-based drama, theatre and creative practice.
